I personally like the look , I have done a few vignettes in the past . I currently looking at Beningfield’s artwork there are quite a few painting in this style in his books

This is so inviting Sophie. Love the dreamy atmosphere and that gentle blue sky.

I like the loose edges Sophie, I think it helps to keep a light, loose and fluid feel to the painting. Also like your use of colour and delicate lines.
