Looks great man, thats quality practice right there. That atmospheric perspective is definitely reading.
For improvements, you could be more decisive with your edges. Think about whether an edge is hard, firm, soft, or lost and try to utilize every kind of edge. In your painting I see almost every shape has the same smudgy squiggly firm edge and it would be nice to see some hard edges on those cast shadows and some soft gradients to round out those mounds of snow. Also simplify your shapes, always simplify.
