Toyohiro Summer Painting

For those of you enduring the northern hemisphere summer this is the right season to share Toyohiro's famous work:
Enjoying the Evening Cool Under a Trellis

The bottle is probably earthenware clay and perhaps full of sake?

Both of them seem to be glancing up at the sky maybe not admiring the white flowers but hoping to see signs of evening rain? 

2 Edo Hakkei by Toyohiro

Harunobu and Hiroshige were not the only artists to do #EdoHakkei in response to the #OmiHakkei theme

Hiroshiges teacher #Toyohiro also did them!

This is Utagawa Toyohiros Ueno Temple Bell print

Note Toyohiro seems to prefer pinks and reds and less blues than Hiroshige

Sunset on Awazu became sunset at the Ryogoku bridge in the Edo Hakkei theme

The river is the Sumida
