Atmospheric paintings of Japan

This watercolor painting of Japanese haystacks was done outdoors during a painting trip in November of 2014. This place is called Shonai. It is a village in Oita prefecture, Japan. This painting is by Gareth Naylor.
This scene may be from a place I visited in 2013. Sadly, I no longer know the name of this place. But I think this place is somewhere between Oita city and Fukuoka city. However, the mellow evening mood of this painting with the partially dissolved figures was from my imagination. And this painting is one of a series.
This a painting of a place called Akitsuki. It is in Fukuoka prefecture, Japan. This painting is by Gareth Naylor.
