Can you finish a hand painted work of art digitally?

Stage 1 - Acrylic on canvas panel.

Stage 2 - Starting digital painting.

Stage 3 - Blocking in main areas.

Stage 4 - Refining all areas.

Stage 5 - Adding in the details.

The finished work.
This hybrid impressionist work of art is based on the 19th Century painting entitled Sunset near Land's End, Cornwall, England by Thomas Moran. It was started on a canvas panel using acrylic paints. I have shown that a traditional style of painting can quite easily be used with digital equipment. I used Gimp 2.8, a laptop with Windows 7 and a Wacom graphics tablet (a basic model).
