David Hockney has three brothers and one sister, and the siblings are all close. He has always had a particular bond with Margaret, a retired nurse, and has drawn her a number of times in recent years, when she and David spent much time together in Bridlington while he was working on his Yorkshire landscape works. She traveled to Los Angeles last year with a close friend, Pauline Ling, also the subject of a portrait. [http://arthistorynewsreport.blogspot.nl/2017/11/david-hockney-82-portraits-and-1-still.html]
