Watercolor Paintings of Countryside Scenes

These watercolor paintings came from many trips into the Japanese countryside. It took a long time to find these beautiful places.

Yufudake Mountain

I once got stuck on this mountain all night.

Shonai

A few years ago I tried to travel to Yufuin a "fairly" picturesque tourist town. But nearly every time I stopped about half-way in a place called Shonai because I saw some beautiful scene. Here are some of those beautiful scenes.

I have been to this tourist town many times. If you look around you can find some really beautiful scenes. Here are a few I found and painted.

Kuju

This is a beautiful national park. It's a little far so I can't often go there but I love this place very much.

Story

These paintings came from trips into the Japanese countryside. It took a long time to find these places and now I have a number of favorite haunts. Some of them, like visiting Ubuyama, came from family trips that my wife planned. Yufudake is a mountain I got stuck on all night! And Shonai is a place that I often intended just to drive through but then I happened to see something interesting and so stopped and did a painting. The Stony path is from Kuju is a beautiful national park that I love to visit.
