Every time I visit Southwold (about once a year) I still find something new and exciting to motivate me and make me want to investigate further.
Whenever I visit a location that has creativity involved I will always take with me a notebook and pen so as to remind my self of my new discoveries. 50% of the time I find no internet link to the artists or designer I am looking for, which is a shame with most of the world being digital and fully engaged with the world wide web; But hey ho they lose out on being mentioned on here.
The first artist on my list is Chrissy Norman with her etchings of the seaside and trees, the colours that she uses are romantic in a way as if trying to tell the viewer a story or what will happen next in the still image. This fuels the viewer into wanting to see more of her images and to see if they can find another seen or a clue in background of the image as to what is going to happen in the silent and paused image. http://www.chrissynorman.co.uk/ Her work is found in the Southwold Gallery down the High Street amongst other artists to purchase if one wanted to.
Another mesmerising artist is Tessa Shedley Jordan who paints still life (mainly vegetables) with watercolour, they seems alive on the paper as if one is able to reach in and take a piece to eat. The palate used is very bold and only enhances its freshness from the day it was painted. They are all fairly large allowing the viewer to see the many layers that make up the image presented to them. http://www.tshedleyjordan.co.uk
My favourite finding of the day I have left till last which is local artist Amelia Bowman with her sharp lines and pattern making up seaside imagery, the example I have given below is just the tip of the iceberg on how she manipulates imagery. 
Even by using different pattern in the image it still works well, and although the colours are not accurate you still cant stop looking at the image. No more words can discribe how much I love her work, so please just follow the linkhttp://www.ameliabowman.co.uk/index.html
some others which would make a good motivating tool are as follows

Jill Desborough – she doesn’t have a website as such but can be find by searching for her. In particular her etchings and mrs Thackray are good
