Your oil paintings, abstract as they are, can still benefit from better choices in terms of carving out their 3D forms, especially when there need to be separate of, say, hands from shirt, for the simple sake of identifying the shapes we're seeing. To do that, you need to do more still life sketching to learn forms, and also to simply add a dark line of shadow at the... uh, shadow side, of things. This require you to know or have decided where in your painting is the light source coming from?
