this is already going to be a terrible piece simply because of the work you're putting into it - the time you're spending is giving you the opposite quality

why are there so many elements? where is your focal point? why is everything so meticulously detailed instead of implied details? if you want a tight, cleaned-up envo why don't you do lineart?

pic related is what's considered a "good" painting because it's hitting everything that a painting is supposed to strengthen: the idea in not too many brushstrokes. there is no one aspect that is too detailed than anything else not in the background where it takes up too much of your eye time when you look at it. whereas in your painting there's too much detail that it's overwhelming

i'd suggest watching demos on youtube regarding how your favorite artists render their landscapes (from start to finish- notice their process of blocking in, including the design stage: for some reason you're randomly adding elements to your piece when you get done overdetailing one aspect of it). This is just confusing to look at.
