Good studies!! I believe you nailed it on the second one.
A suggestion from me would be to go further back in time for your studies. Remember that all artists today borrowed from the ones before them, so by studying your favourite artists' favourite artists (woah that's a bit confusing!) will open you to a bigger pool of influences.
A few suggestions would be: NC Wyeth (for its illustration style) Alphonse Mucha's Slav Epics (for its huge compositions) and Gustave Dore's prints (value composition at its best).
Hope it helps!
