Wow thanks everyone, I can't tell you how it makes me that this painting is well received.
I used a #4 filbert for the whole thing. One thing I am doing is grouping colors on my palette by their value - this is helping me be more colorful in a subdued way - It is easier for me to use a range of colors in a particular value area, as long as the value is correct, the play of different colors within the passage provides interest. I used the same brush throughout, and since it's never super clean, as is my palette, I get some great muddy yet colorful tones.
