Click through on the 1st image to see a slideshow of 8 Melbourne scenes in the style of Hiroshige (meisho-e = pictures of famous places). I have tried to imagine how Hiroshige (1797-1858) may have shown these scenes if he was alive today.
7 of 8 originals (acrylics on stretched canvas 12″x12″) were sold by Exhibitions Gallery, Wellington at my January 2022 “In the style of Hiroshige” exhibition – no3 (Moonrise at Princes Bridge) is available
(I was a bus/tram conductor for a few months in Melbourne in 1977, my usual bus route was Bulleen to Port Melbourne via Collingwood, Kew, Fitzroy, Bourke St, Flinders Station, Princes Bridge to the water. Interesting cross-section of Melbourne; brown-dirt new housing, leafy well-off suburbia, students, downtown city bustle, industrial, to the port and back again. All sorts got on and off, loved it!)
