Oh, fun stuff.

Looking good. I do think some of your color combinations come off as unnatural, but it'll just be that way for a long time as you develop better senses for it. Try reading up on huevaluechroma.com and studying the old masters for a bit - even just taking a color picker and seeing how simple their color choices actually are should help. Also, pay attention to the relationships of your tempatures - you can make anything look just about right with the correct value and temperature.

Also, grab some crutches when you're doing this sort of stuff. Find a photo you like and steal its composition, the value structure, and the form information, and then just have fun painting in colors in different combinations and lighting scenarios. It's harder to learn when you're juggling so many things at once, use every tool you can find to help you really focus on one thing at a time.

Lovely stuff, these are a bunch of fun to look at. I especially love the ones where things are pretty much broken - mostly in your second set. I'm curious to see how a few more would turn out if you utilized some extremely deep colors, like 90% saturated Cyan/Blue, or deep dark purples, reds. Try pushing some broken color too - like how Monet would.

You're tackling way too much at once, with way too many tools. These'll be hard enough just as color experiments and studies, so focus your energies on that and use crutches for everything else. There's a bunch of potential in these, you just need to keep it simple so you can focus on the colors and effects.
