Fuck yea man! I'm feeling those gestures, real good!
I have the same problem with still life paintings, it's like I have 2 modes (probably have more for work stuff) where one is the one I like and it's the style I have, and the other is me trying to do a realistic painting. Once I start a still life I just turn off my own style and try to create a photo and that might be the bad thing?! I don't know I might try giving it a go again but with a bit of twist on it, where I still learn from it but don't bore my balls off.
As for the last painting, it might be more of a problem of value, the druid is in the same value range as the background making it hard to separate them. And/Or you could try to start with really desaturated and a more dark value for the objects, like some of these gifs from the master :

Hope it helps man, and keep rocking!
