Hello, I am desperately seeking for more information on two paintings that my boss found in a second hand shop. I've combed through the internet and have not been able to find anything, so I am hoping maybe someone here may be able to help.

The first looks like it is signed "Hakone Lake Japan JM Hunter 1950". Unfortunately, my searches on JM Hunter have brought up nothing useful. Here is what it looks like: http://imageshack.us/m/593/4848/lakepainting.jpg
And a close up of the signature: http://imageshack.us/m/191/1593/lake...gsignature.jpg


For the second painting, I can not find a signature or any sort of markings anywhere to help identify it. This is what it looks like: http://imageshack.us/m/51/6079/farmpainting.jpg

Any help anyone can give would be much appreciated. Thanks!
