I once went a year without creating any significant kind of art. It really hit hard when my wife told me that "If I had your talent, I would do it all the time". I decided then, that I would take steps to force myself to do more art. With the many art contest available through magazines, websites and even county fairs, there is usually some new deadline to meet, and sometimes a theme to work towards. Having a deadline is helpful for me and the primary reason for entering competitions. Winning a cash prize or ribbon is just icing on the cake.

Many artists, though full of talent, find it hard to create art. Like you said yourself, you went on a year without creating anything at all. That is okay because we all experience being in a slump once in a while. There is nothing wrong if you cannot find any inspiration to create art. Just because you are talented does not mean that you will always feel like you want to create art. You are entitled to take some time off and work on your art whenever you feel like you are finally ready.
