The three painters that inspire me the most in this hobby are yourself, Fletcher from Tabletop Tactics, and Jay from EoB. Fletcher is one of the most amazing artists I've ever seen. My jaw just drops whenever I see his work. You make everything seems extremely approachable and the results are seriously fantastic while Jay is just so infectiously enthusiastic that it makes you want to get out and paint something. Thanks for all you and the rest of the YT creators do for the hobby.

I'm not sure about the warhammer lore for the green knight but as far as depictions of real world mythology goes adding some of those seeds that look like in scale fall leaves to the base and maybe a little bit of snow effects to go with that very lush dark green spring grass and that longer pallor summer grass on the base could give you that 4 seasons vibe. Also even if you don't want the snow those fall leaves would make for some extremely punchy contrast with all that green.
