Experiencing painter's block

As many of you know, I'm taking a watercolor class.  Today I finished a painting--yay!  I thought it was a goner.  In true artist fashion, I wanted to give up, throw it away, and never see it again.  Thankfully my patient teacher showed me what to fix and now I really like it.  As she would say, "Happy day!"  I'll post a picture of it and the other two I've completed, along with some of the ones I did last semester...eventually.  Don't hold your breath or anything.

For now, I need a reference for my next painting.  Here are some images I took in Ireland and England along with some pictures I found on Pinterest.

1. Catskills Cottage (Pinterest)

4. Amy in Ireland

5. Dove Cottage, England
