My favorite form of painting the impressionistic style done my Monet. I have never seen it done in photography though. Does this fill the bill? It is the best I can do and this was a fluke and my wife pointed it out to me. Let me know what you think.

Very dreamy and appealing. Worth taking the time to remove the wire and metal on the right and extend the canvas at the top so the chimney doesn't touch the top of the frame.

Nicely done!

Very nice. You might enjoy playing around with Dynamic Auto-Paint. This can be overdone, but it is possible to create very interesting faux-painted images. I'll try to post an example which received local plaudits.

Thank you. I believe the realms of photography have just began to be explored. It really an art form as well as a record keeping form. Me, I am afraid, at least somewhat, to explore. It is there but rarely used. We as a people understand very little when it comes to this life.

The subject matter is great. A bit darker sky might pull the viewers eyes to the flowers. Some programs allow you to change brush stroke size and add blur.

Thanks for the added insight. My views are, at least what I think is impressionism is never meant to be clear. All items in the subject are never meant to be in total clarity. Hence the flowers are out of focus to take away from them dominating the photograph. Yet they still add color and enrichment which the house is void of. The only thing in complete focus would be the house but it is somewhat abstract because of the lighting which does not allow one to see it in clarity. It is a wonderful world full of feelings and emotions which play a big part in our lives.
Thank you so much for an added perspective. Impressionism from what I understand is emotion.
