Faux-painting

[misterx]

Just fooling around with some techniques tonight, and came up with this. The original is roughly 4200x2800. I started with one of my photos, used a couple of filters to get me started, then spent a couple hours using Paint Shop's "art media" at a variety of settings to blend, tweak, etc. I think the final result is pretty convincing, and if printed on canvas would look quite real (until you got close enough to see that the there wasn't really depth to the paint strokes).
