painting process

Many people have the question: where did you get the idea? what inspired you to paint this?
well for me it's a feeling from deep inside me which tells me get up and paint!
I think many had went through this experience when you are asleep and you are dreaming and once you wake up you are so afraid to forget this dream so you write it down, this happens with me with the painting i see the painting in my dream and when i wake up i try to sketch quickly what i saw in my dream and then elaborate on canvas, i mostly use acrylics incase you are wondering, i did not yet experimented with watercolors and oil, some of the drawings here were actually projects for class those were made with gouache.
I will be posting more paintings in the next few days hopefully
I do have a problem though, sometimes i have many ideas, so many that i get lost and end up sitting and not doing anything? did anyone went through this? is there any solution?
or sometimes i just feel tired for no good reason. I hate myself for being lazy. But i really appreciate the support for the people who may comment on the paintings, and please be 100% honest even the ones you hated i would like to hear about it.

the big painting is 150 X 150cm, the two similar ones are 75cm X 37.5cm each i made these because i had a lot of free time and my parents were asking me how can they decorate an empty wall in the living room so i thought why don't i make a huge painting for it and then as a follow up i did two smaller ones with similar colors, i am not a pro but it reminds me of chinese style in painting, especially the flowers, correct me if i am mistaken.
this one is a project for class what we were asked to do is to show "violence" in a painting so i was thinking that violence is not only physical it can as well be a verbal abuse.
The religious icon was actually my first ever painting using acrylics i made it around 2 years ago, i did not know what to paint and how to use the acrylics so i reproduced the icon we already had in our house but in a very small scale, so i made it bigger it took forever though to make the small designs all around it but i pulled it off i guess, what do you think?
