I can't decide if these are done. the top one the green at the bottom is sage brush, i was planning on putting more info but i don't know if it will be more busy/distracting that way. there is also a fence line at the edge of the sage and field i was planning on putting in, and maybe a little more detail in the trees. . . ?
the other one was right before a storm, i had the sky and mountain painted completely different at first, then it got stormy so i changed it right before we left. i have a picture and there is a little detain in the mountain on the left side, and there is another house in the middle of the trees and white house. i can't decide if i should put it really desaturated and lose in there.
thoughts?

I don't think the top one looks done yet. I think adding the fence would add some variety to your generally loose and brushy style. Because I am imagining the fence to be made of small, more detailed marks, so it would add some contrast.
On the bottom one, I am really distracted by the white house that is directly centered behind the tree. It doesn't quite read like a house and the contrast is so stark between the tree and the house so my eye goes directly there.
Generally, I am really loving your plen air style. The subtle color variations are gorgeous. However, they read so much better in person. That is true for most art, but these especially.
For the top piece, I would love to see more definition of sage in the foreground. Not sure about a fence, but maybe a partial broken fence.
I love the atmosphere you establish! You just need a little punch.
