I've continued to follow his career through photo collage and his ideas about perspective. Your little book is a wonderful little treasure, a very thoughtful gift.<br /><br />And re: New Zealand and visiting your son. So happy for you that you will be making such a huge trip and I think that going with your mother will make it even more special. Have a wonderful time.Judy Martinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00619951031502775381noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2419544468759273678.post-22393462371489887202012-03-07T15:51:45.692+00:002012-03-07T15:51:45.692+00:00Oh I love David Hockney - I grew up only a few mil...Oh I love David Hockney - I grew up only a few miles from Salts Mill where there is a huge permanent exhibition of his work (and am originally from the Bradford area myself!).
