Great work :) i think some black and white studies focusing value will help you colors a bunch. Keep it up!

I feel going abstract as alot to do with mental health.I had a little abstract phase.Take care of yourself.I find there a lot of comfort to be found in playing with color during those time. I call it color therapy.You might have heard of it.

I suggest that if you have deadline you create a post in the seeking critique/paintover.
As far as critique i might have for the mermaid piece is to look at other artist work for inspiration.My issue is mostly with the mood and the color choose is it suppose to feel kinda sad?
The water color and the bridge have value that doesn't work under those lightning condition but i suppose this might be just a temporary under tone i just can't tell for sure i am not a traditional painter so not to familiar with the process.But i like the subtle hint that this is some kind of modern twist on the mermaid.
I think the main issue is the hand perspective it should be more foreshorten it doesn't seem to be supporting here weight.
For propotion issue there is certainly a difference with the reference you gotta learn to compare measurement and check measurement this something you should know by now if you want to be doing belivable ''human'' subject.For proportion the best instant trick i can give you is to step back from the work often during the proportion phase to flip the canvas and perhaps use a grid if you very late on a deadline.
