Here´s another classic: John Singer Sargent.
And yet another: Mariano Fortuny. Unfortunately I can´t find any good image of his amazing waterclours. I hope this little one will give you an idea.

Re: watercolor inspiration
Awesome watercolors! Wow I wish I can paint in watercolors like that. Watercolors are really hard to control, but a really fun medium

Re: watercolor inspiration
Thank you for the inspirations! My contribution is Ronald Jesty, a British watercolorist. His work enchanted me even in small reproductions in some of my "how to make art" books so I remembered his name. This year I found his work in a gallery in England (Quarr Gallery in Swanage). Seeing this picture and then sketching the place myself the next day moved my sketches to a level that made me happy.
His work is so simple, so masterful, such gorgeous color:
There are more images of his work http://www.quarrart.com/section90200_154564.html.

Re: watercolor inspiration
I get my inspirations from books by authors such as Charles de Lint http://www.sfsite.com/charlesdelint/, and Brian Froud http://www.worldoffroud.com/index.html. Also Stephanie Law at Shadowscapes, and my watercolor teacher, Rob Erdle http://www.watercolorworldwide.com/gallery.html.
