I’m at the point I must decide if it will be realism or impressionist. I’m leaning ...

You're doing a pretty good job. I suppose just make sure that your decision to make it impressionism is not one of compromise. All the best with your work!
Thank you for wise words. I agree with you. I think I will stare at it until I see what it should look like. Then I will do my best to match.
