I've been a fan of David Hockney since I saw this painting. A print of it hangs on my bedroom wall, so I've come to analyze it occasionally. The color palette used is breathtaking, and a perfect balance of warm and cool hues that results in a joyous sunny day kind of feeling. The layout is pure excellence, and I especially enjoy the use of angles vs. straight lines. Of course, the best part or the painting is the splash. I've read that Hockney spent two weeks perfecting the splash, loving that it is an event that last for two seconds.
