Oh sweet summer child, if you came here for direction, that's you're mistake

I'm in the process of moving across the country. Does that answer satisfy, mister/miss random stranger on the internet who is seeming strangely considerate about my life journey and where it "goes"?

But for a real answer if you've read my profile my end goal is to be an oncologist (cancer doctor). So I have a direction, but it's not in art and that should be fine.

I am sorry for digging so deep.
Best luck with your goals, seriously!

My question was actually concerned about the substance of your paintings.
You've made some of the best, most emotionally rich pieces I've seen and I was simply wondering about your tendency to be satisfied to mostly stick to a single color and vibe - I'd love to see what you can do to a painting, for example, in one month rather than a day!

As a recovered neurodermatitis-patient I know what it feels like to peel your own skin off, so you must understand why I love your work!

Thank you for elaborating your perspective more. I have gotten used to a lot of passive aggressive comments towards my art or what I do as an artist that I have to admit I automatically see vague comments like this as an attempt from the person them self to be negative or deflecting. I apologize myself for replying a bit more aggressive than I should have! 

Once this project is over I plan on actually doing a fully cohesive project, so far I want to incorporate animation and more poetry into my works so we'll see how that goes haha. But besides that I will be taking my time doing illustrations afterwards so I can show off my more polished technique. I am definitely not satisfied sticking to single colored vibes or these really basic themes I have been doing because I've been doing it so much, but in all honesty, because of time constraints its the best results for the least amount of time. I mean I try to complain about it in the description, though maybe its not coming across like that. Hope those actually answer your question. Thanks for this surprisingly enjoyable convo!
