WOW, this is a great piece of ART ****************************

Thank you it was a real pleasure to do this for my father it still hangs at home plus a few others. Glad to share some of my childhood.

Beautiful, Steve. Where did you find it to copy at the time you did it?

Dani my father had a time life book with 3"x 2" photos of the paintings, me i loved the total lack of colour in the painting but the three people.

As usual Steve, it seems that almost everything you do, you do so with expertise and have done so from an early age. A wonderful rendition of the original with your flare and touches. t seems that you accomplishments know no bounds. Well done my friend.

Herb come on be fair i know your own paintings. in truth i think that painting goes hand in hand with photography although a whole lot slower. i think this took me a few weeks to let the back ground dry off so i could the top layer with out and problems oil is slower than water to dry but i think my fav. i went from water colour wash to acrylics then settled on oils. i think this of his paintings is timeless i have done 4 of them but this is ,my fav. glad you like it i have a few others about the house but never put to camera from my art school day(high school)

I love the paintings of Hiroshige....beautifully done, Steve

many thanks i am fast think as i get older i should get out a totaly new set of oils and brushed and play away with what i like. one of my fave i have also painted Kameyama no 46, Sakanoshita no 48 and Yui no 16 they are lost as i gave them away. recommend the book "The old Tokaido" By Patrick Carey.

Very good! I could never do it... My sister also paints in oil, it*s a slow business for sure! She usually does water colour or ink sketches when travelling and the oils at home.

You see i would take a photo and do an oil from that i believe thats painting is another interpretation of photography and they go hand in hand. i am fast thinking i should gets a set of brushes and oils. i may take a few photos of the paintings i kept for my self i still have that where done as set topics in art.

Ein sehr schöne Gemälde mit den farbig hervorgehobenen Menschen

part of my liking of this is just that only three small bits of colour in an other wise Black and white world. thank you and glad you like it as well.

Hi Steve,

Again, I am so impressed! I am lost for words.
Japanese art always had that special quality, which I could never put a finger on, but it stood out a mile.. You have captured it here!

Best Wishes, and a good weekend
Peter

Once again some thing I did enjoy when I was younger at school when this was done I was happy to do the painting for my parents. I think the Japaneses paintings had a simplistic side that spoke volumes without making the painting complicated. why I loved this total B/W but three small spots of colour to add a very little bit of interest.

I have been thinking that I should take this up again as well. Many thanks Peter glad you enjoyed this.
