The reason I was fooling around with some of my old pictures is that my son needs some art work for his walls and he asked me to make a CD for him of some of my pictures. I think some of these, done this way, will look great blown up into posters. I'm having this one made today and I'm hoping that I'll be happy with the results.
Maybe it's cheating to make a photo look like a print of a painting, I don't know. All I know is that it's visually pleasing to me. Thoughts?

This is great. How'd you do it? Photoshop? Which effect is it?
This is so funny. I was at Barnes and Noble last night, and they had a whole book on how to make paintings out of your digital photography with photoshop! I didn't even know you could do that until last night, and there is your picture!
Amazing effect, and I really thnk I should look into getting that photoshop! Beautiful!
I got back the posters I had made...two different shots, and I LOVE them! I haven't been this excited about something in a long time. I can see all kinds of possibilities!
Beth, I should have added, it's the dry brush. Go to filters, then artistic, then dry brush. I push them pretty far up there so that the effect is obvious, but you can play around to see what you like. Have fun!
Since you asked for thoughts...I have to admit, I tend to like photos best in their natural state. I'm just not one who appreciates a souped up version. So I like this photo, but I would probably prefer the original. What matters, though, is that YOU like it, and that you feel inspired. : )
It does give the effect of a painting and is beautiful! What was the other poster of?
What a neat idea! It makes a pretty "painting."
I really liked how this shot turned out as a painting. Playing with photoshop is fun, isn't it?
