Landscapes are the best thing for me to paint or photograph. If you’re having a rough time with friends and family, going out to look at nature, and then painting it, might get your mind off of all of that. Are there any beautiufl places around you? Parks, mountains, lakes, rivers, oceans, wheat fields, canyons, stone outcroppings? If not, get yourself some good travel mags like Arizona highways or something similar and just find some landscapes that you like.
