Did the picture help at all?
Hmm… not yet

I used Dalle-2 to edit together the painting, here's some of the pics I didn't use, maybe they will help

Are the color squares at the bottom intentional, or just automatically generated with DALL-E?
Btw, nice photo editing skills to put all of these together. Looks sick.

That's Dalle-2 signature basically, it's there whenever you generate an image, and thank you. Dalle does most of the work tho lol

Hate to say it, but I’m still stumped on 3. I get what the picture is supposed to be, but I’m not sure how it’s supposed to help me crack the next piece of the puzzle (XX 22 30, XX 07 30, etc). Definitely don’t want you to give it away, but if it’s possible to drop another hint that might be helpful. If not no worries - will keep trying to make sense out of it as I have time to do so.

I did change that part kind of last minute, it was this originally:
XX:22:30 XX:07:30 etc..

Ok, I've tried a bunch of different options and none of them have worked... Am I correct in assuming that the solution starts from three separate points? If so, I must not be very clear on each point. For clue 1, I'm pretty certain it's between one of two points - a letter and a number, adjacent to each other. I'm referring to the picture for this one, not really sure which fits the clue, but it's gotta be one of two. Let me know if that sounds way off. For clue 2, I'm guessing it's a number, but I'm least confident about that, and I'm not sure how to find which one it is. Not referring to picture for this one, which might be wrong? idk. For clue 3, I'm pretty confident it's a single number - referring to the picture. Again, let me know if that sounds way off.
I think as long as I can figure out the starting points, I'll have the solution.

Yes three separate start points, the paths I wanted to make semi-easy to figure out and the start points being most important. There is a particular theme with the puzzle and the three start points, perhaps I should've made it more clear but knowing history should help solve each starting point. And maybe adding the painting underneath just added confusion but the painting isn't needed at all to solve it, just kind of an easter egg afterwards.
Last hint I'd give is note the amount of columns and rows, and the placement of the capital J's and S's
