David Hockney’s Bigger Trees near Water painting has been donated to Tate Gallery. This painting which probably is the biggest painting ever done in the open air is his largest painting measuring 4.5 meters high and over 12 meters long. The view of a copse outside Bridlinton (Yorkshire) which is Hockney’s present home was painted over 50 canvases. It took David Hockey only a few weeks to paint Bigger Trees near Water despite it was a major logistical operation. This oil painting hasn’t been evaluated but it seems that is one of the most generous gifts presented by an artist to an UK gallery in recent years.
