You colors and shapes are excellent! Now all you need to do is work on having control over your edges and you will be unstoppable.
Keep kickin ass! |

These are fantastic, I like these alot. One of my favourite painting subjects too.
One thing I would be aware of, try to avoid sticking to one colour when painting rocks, as they are made up of a number of different types of material. Otherwise, you end up with mountains that have a slighty 'plastic' look to them. The following example isn't brilliant, but it hopefully gives you the idea.

Anyway, nice use of sharp shadows. Also, be careful of using highly saturated turqoise for the snow.
Keep up the good work. |

| my only comment is about the composition in the first pic. Somehow I don't really like the repetition of the 3 rocks on the side, I'd say move the last pointy one further towards the middle, or connect it to the second rock like the second one is a ledge off of the first |
