Crossing - stage 4

Finished the sky and have moved on to roughing in the landscape. I don't want a large tonal difference between the crossing and the sky behind it as I don't want it to stand out too much so I'm proceeding quite cautiously at the moment. One dilemma is do I use thick or thin paint now? My usual mantra is "It's the painting not the place!" meaning that the painting and how it has been painted is more important than the subject/location but with this one it seems it should be "The feeling is more important than the painting".  Most current landscape painting is about thicker paint loosely applied but with a final result of disrupted realism. I feel that I have to go my own way on this one and be true to myself and paint it how it comes natural to me. The way I'm painting this one so far has been thin paint quite sketchily applied but when you move back to look at it from a few feet away the sketchy marks coalesce into something quite realistic, even photographic.
Colours used for the landscape are Permanent Sap Green, Chromium Green, Permanent Orange, Ultramarine Violet, Manganese Violet and Winsor Violet.
