Photoshop painted pictures

[Dirkdigger]

This is a picture I took whilst bored yesterday. After seeing the great flower and plant paintings posted thought would have a play with Photoshop.
Its only a first attempt so please be gentle.

Excellent, I always give up with such programs, I dont seem to have the patience.

Hope you dont mind I selected it as my desktop background. It looks rather good. 8)

A couple more photos. I've managed to get the conversion process down to 1 click of the mouse now. I just open a new image, run action ( for anyone who doesn't use Photoshop, a bit like a macro in Excel.) A set of pre recorded instructions to the program to convert the image. Saves a lot of time in the long run, doesn't seem to be quite right but near enough for now. Obviously title added after.
First photo is the original image, then a new version just using 1 click.
Hope you approve
