Your fun, craziness, love of life were all inspirational ! You saw colours in landscapes I had never imagined and produced works that were irreplaceable! Thank you for giving my family and I the opportunities to enjoy all of your art! The yellow crocs made life brighter!

Rachel Goulcher – Friday 26 June
You were an inspiration. Beautiful work. The ‘drive through the snowy woods’ upstairs in Salt’s Mill is better than having therapy. Thank you. You will live on in the hearts and souls of so many people.

Rest in peace David Hockney You will be missed. You will always be my most favourite artist. Forever since the beginning, I was admired and inspired of your amazing artwork. I love your artwork. Your artwork inspired me into art including the paintings. I have did some artwork I was inspired of your famous paintings which I did when I was at school. Your legacy and your artwork will always live forever and continue to inspire, admire and influence art and the next generations.
