When I read magazines I always tear out interesting pictures. My subjects are often landscape, texture, colour combinations and people. These are kept in my studio in folders, and when I just want to practice or am looking for some inspiration, I take the folders out and pick something.
Like these beetroots. I started with some already painted paper, then drew them with charcoal, added a cutting board and knife for the composition and started painting them with acrylics.
And I like the end result. The painted paper has added a dimension, and the shading added depth. And I learned by doing this, so another bonus :).
