David Hockney first visited California in 1964 and visited and worked there from time to time until he decided in 1978 to settle there permanently. In 1965 he worked on A Hollywood Collection, a suite of prints, with master printer Ken Tyler, who ran the printmaking studio Gemini GEL. The Weather Series was the second major suite made at Gemini and is inspired in part by the representation of weather in Japanese prints. This image shows a row of three Californian palm trees and a building in a misty landscape, the colouring and impressionistic treatment of which is reminiscent of Monet's studies of light over the Thames or in French hayfields.
