Thanks for posting, hesh! When downloaded and enlarged, I can't see any special effects, such as "brush strokes."
It's a very pretty scene, with lush greenery (too "lush" for some, I'm sure
). You'll want to re-visit your cloning of the electric wires as they are still visible in several areas.
What software did you use to create the oil painting? Have you any others where the result is more obvious? Or perhaps just post the "before" so we can compare.
Thanks again!

Hi Linda, thanks for looking. I thought I had got all the wires. Now that I look closer I see your right. I used the NIK collection. Specifically Viveza and color effects 4. As far as the brush strokes, I didn’t want to “over cook” the scene. I can go back and make further adjustments. Thank you for your thoughts.

I like it but I think if you want an oil painting effect you need an image with a larger pallette. Too much green in this image.

Linda and Ken nailed the points. The saturation (esp. green) takes away from a natural look, but when going for an oil painting effect, what did you want?

For me I feel the abstract look resembles a painting.

Perhaps I need to go beyond. Like you said “playful”.

As far as specifically the oil painting effect, I'm more familiar with the results that look like brush strokes.
Please visit often to share your journey. Thanks again!

I think what you have done is very pretty. Rather than an oil painting effect some would call this a painterly effect. It's in between a painting and a photo in appearance. I enjoy this type of photographic art and many of my first attempts at landscapes were similar.
As Linda mentioned you can "push" the effects or take it even farther to a truly abstract photo using lots of different techniques. It is addictive but lots of fun. The vision is yours to fulfill.

I think you hit the nail on the head. Painterly effect seems right on. Also a cool word.

Look at paintings by your favorite oil painters. Select a couple of their paintings that appeal to you and try to emulate their style. Most often it helps to have a starting point as opposed to the stab in the dark with fingers crossed.
