Depending on the view, it is sometimes possible to paint something you can see looking out one of your windows. It can include a window sill and curtains, or even a small vase on the window sill. Then you don't have to be bewildered by an overdose of the great outdoors.
Just a suggestion.

Landscapes
Have you ever noticed that people that paint very nice stills or figures or interiors or portraits often paint odd landscapes. The reverse is often true. Artists that make great sunlit landscapes can't even do a portrait. This has gone on for centuries.
Those folks like Richard Schmid and Dan Gerhartz that paint from life-stuff is stuff and all their work is convincing. I love much of Daniel Graves work but find his landscapes a bit weird in tone and lacking in light. If landscapes don't have light or depth they seldom work.
I suspect studio folks don't get outside enough.

It is said..
by devoted landscape people to paint snow; your feet must be cold. I painted this sketch standing in water for a class demo.

I am more of a still life painter than landscape artists. I do have a special fondness for trees though, since I always seem to see a face in them. Odd, huh?!

Karin, I wish you would post some of your attempts for us new guys. I am dumbfounded that you would struggle. Your struggle would be my masterpiece, and you know I mean that with the utmost respect!
This was my first still life, motivated by Mr. Tim Tyler himself. I was very excited and pleased. The real fun parts were: one the lighting didn

A Good Day Painting Apples
I painted the apples today in a single pass - a very good and exciting day! The rest is still very much in progress. 
Thanks for looking!

Someone should put a stop to this before somebody gets hurt.

It's Still Life for me
My first love is still life. I do think of it as portraits of onions.
