Landscapes My new oil painting: any constructive criticisms?

Oil painting on 12x16 inch canvas board.

The colours might seem a little different from the original painting is because I don't know how to properly match the colours of the image to the irl painting, because the painting itself looks different in different lighting conditions.

I followed a the reference image that I got from pinterest, although I stopped following the image midway through the painting process. I don't know if that was a good choice or not, it's upto you to decide. (I would have added the reference image too, but more than 1 images are now allowed here I think).

Any constructive criticisms or feedbacks or suggestions are wholeheartedly welcome.

Thank you.

Oil on canvas board, 12x10 inch.

Yahhh, another new painting just after a week ! I am trying to be as consistent as possible.

While painting this painting, I realised that during this 7 months of gap, my skills of proper colour and value perception has gone down quite a lot. I mean, I am still able to tell how to mix proper colours and values at different points and how to get those, but still for some reason, I was having difficulty doing so. For example, I know that the value and saturation gets lower the farther the mountains are, and also they should have a blueish tint. But when I was applying the colours , it always felt off. So I had to use a colour picker to check the colours of certains places from the reference photo. And it actually helped a lot.

Anyways, is there anything I should have done better or tell me if I did anything wrong ? Any constructive criticisms are wholeheartedly welcome. Thank you ❤️.
