A consistent theme in Hockney's artwork is swimming pools:

A Bigger Splash (you've probably seen this one somewhere):

Day Pool (wish this one was bigger):

Beautiful!

Oh I know! I love Hockney's artwork. Simple but elegant - the best kind. My favourite from those three that I posted is Day Pool, the third one. Reminds me of my pool and of summers gone by.

This is Blackfield, an installation by artist Zadok Ben-David featuring thousands of finely crafted painted metal sculpted flowers based on Victorian textbook illustrations, with the flowers planted in sand. Upon entry to the exhibit, the flowers are black but as viewers travel to the opposite side they are seen as a field of color.
