So interesting thoughts....

So i wanted the opinion of some other artists on this.. and there is no better place to go than my DA friends made up of that very thing.
What i noticed is this. .. I had a VERY serious case of art block for a while. Since sometime in the middle of june actually.. Seriously look at the dates between my mermaid picture and the more recent ones.  
YAH..
What had happened was... right as i was starting my silver dragon painting my father had a hissy fit about being in the assisted living AGAIN, and as usual took it out on lil ol me. 
So i didn't touch a paint brush for months.. i actually had to clean the dust off my dragon painting before i could finish it.
BUT .. i noticed somethings A) now that the art block  has broke.. OH MAN has it ever broke.. B) now that it has broke... i am no longer having the difficulties with acrylics that i was having before. if you look at the first two acrylic paintings i did.. UGH... 
if you look at the last few.. yah.
So.. i was wondering has that happened to anyone else.. the art block breaks and all of a sudden your skill level for a particular form or medium jumps.. by a lot.
Cus thats what happened to me with acrylics.. and while.. I LOVE IT... 
I am a lil mystified at the same time.
