This is crazy. I could have sworn I posted comments on these. Oh well. I'll do it now.
I really like them. The high key colors are very effective in both snow and sea when it has that tropical blue to it. I will suggest that you get into working for contrast some more to give them some added weight. . . if you like. Right now they have a hand done, interpretive feel owing to the rawness of the colors. It gives them a more direct quality than a practiced character.
A recommendation, if you like, would be to push one way or the other more for some experiments (not to please my eye, but rather for you to find if you like those color ranges better. So more of a graphic colorful statement, or a heavier and with more contrast, giving it more of a naturalistic look. That doesn't mean make everything muddy. It's more about picking what you want to be bright and then back off that brightness in other areas of the painting. . . .if that's something you want to try.
If I were guessing, I would think you are someone who would like to keep it light and airy, telling the story of the locations like a storyteller picks and chooses their words and how they say them, rather than just giving a factual or melodramatic account. But that's just a guess.
