Nice selection of colors. They make the image catch the eye, even in the thumbnail, and the reflection of the sunlight on the water is effectively conveyed.

Looking at your pictures overall, I would recommend that you define more clearly your light sources, or, more precisely, that you enhance the contrast between light and dark.

Particularly in your first image, although your way of coloring adds texture, there are no shadows, so the buildings and mountains end up looking flat. Your second picture is an improvement on that aspect, although, again, the building looks kinda flat, like it was part of a theatre set. In the island of the picture in question, the different hues make it so that it doesn't look as flat, but there isn't enough darkness on its left side, despite the presence of a strong light source on the right.

Lastly, as I mentioned before, your way of coloring adds interest to your pictures, by making the eye wander through all the different strokes and blotches, but it needs a bit more "refinement" in order to reach its full potential. Try applying the colors in smaller blotches, or, alternatively, to give them more clean and decorative shapes. I also suggest that you research the work of pointillist painters, if you haven't already, as your approach to coloring is similar to theirs (pic related, it's "The Sambre Valley" by Théo van Rysselberghe).
