The block that follows graduation is a common stumbling block for art students. After years of observation and experience, I believe I know the reason. An arts education is quick to educate our tastes, but we acquire abilities slowly through patient practice. Our skills are at least 6 months behind our aesthetic education at graduation. If you would find your own way, you need two things, a diligent application of ongoing skills aquisition through practice and association with other artists - in painting groups or shared studios and 2. You need a further contemporary exposure to the current work exhibited in contemporary galleries and earth museums. Find something you like and make it better. The research on art psychic movements might give you what you need to find something interesting and worthwhile on which to focus your passive attention and abilities. It is all inside you anyway...
something will turn up.
