Hey kerm, great going with all of the studies and observation studies at that!
Hmm, my only advice is not to get too caught up with doing studies. Trust me, I did - and now I wish I did way more personal pieces when I started out this year.
Try your hardest to apply what you're learning from all these still-lifes. For example, the metal and glass objects - try and paint something from your imagination to do with glass or metal to see if you got an understanding of how both properties work. But don't just replicate a glass and a metal spoon and call it a personal piece, try to come up with an idea that you're interested in and go for it!
Like sexy horse man ;)
I hope that helps in some way, keep pushing, you disciplined thing you :D
