Painters Tip
Here is a fun way to get some inspiration. Plan a series of day trips either by yourself or with other painters. Make a day of it by planning to eat a meal out together and tour an interesting area. Take your camera and if you are landscape painters, take your pochade boxes to do some quick studies. Try to keep the journey no more than 3 hours from home, so that all of your time isn't taken by the trip back and forth. Plan to leave about 6 AM so that there is plenty of painting time or touring time when you arrive.
Spend some time on the Internet, researching your area of interest, so that you know something about the place you are going. You will be able to find the restaurants and some of the scenic areas by doing a Google image search before you go.
Some places have scenic boat tours, museum tours and gallery tours. Try to decide what activities you will be most interested in before you leave.
You can all chip in for gas and use some one's van to save money, so it's not a hardship on anyone.
I have taken two trips with student over the last few years, one to Ozello Florida for the day and another to St Petersburg for the day. Both were wonderful and we had time to enjoy lunch at a restaurant and paint for a few hours.
