You have a lot of really nice studies going on! But somehow your studies are way superior to your actual art...
Make sure you're not mindlessly copying the images! Don't worry that much on getting everything absolutely perfect, try doing your own thing but make it make sense in your head! Do more studies in black and white, is way easier to process and understand the lighting!
And also choose wisely the things you're studying from... It's best to get an image with a 3/4 lighting, sou you can see volumes better, and also don't even worry about those complex landscapes like the swamp... take it easy, slow down. It's better to make a simple silly painting that makes sense for you, because if you can't understand something, it's natural that you're going to mindless copy it.
Keep up the great volume of work! And have fun sir :DD
