I loved this photo from the first time I saw it.
It's almost a painting already, just need a little nudge.
Thought I'd share it with my friends.

It's from here, though I don't remember which page.
[Edit - found it! people, page 32]

you most definitely have the 'eye', Ro. is that one posted your touch-up or the original?

This is the original!
Like I said - it's almost there already.

I've often imagined some sort of pointillist version, but I never quite got it right.

This photo is absolutely gorgeous. It seemed almost a shame to manipulate it. I wanted to go for a turn-of-the-century impressionistic feel; but things didn't quite turn out that way this time.

Thanks Ro for the change of pace photo.

That's just lovely, Janet.
The style fits perfectly to the photo.

nice touch, janet

Ro, yes, it reminds me of a classical style, but i cant remember the painter. he used a lot of brighter colors but not impressionistic. and Ro, one suggestion: you might try doing an antiquing of this 'painting'. it just begs for a slightly cracked paint look.

also, for those searching for the original on that site Ro gave, i went through 30 pages of the 'people' section and couldnt find it, so start your search at 31

edit: lol. it would seem i missed Ro's remark about finding it on page 32.... you might know i'd stop two pages short .

I played with the glass distortion filter, then applied paint dabs and adjusted sat. I added a Wow media texture, and then used the smudge tool with a thick oil brush.

Renoir maybe?

This and that...

Upped the hues and then added cut out *like they do with pop art* and added Trimoons art texture.

This is such a beautiful photo to work on that I'm not surprised the results acheived so far are outstanding. Nice work everyone.

here's a sample of what i was trying to do with this image. done in Paint Shop Pro 7.xx with layers of fine leather, rough leather, brush strokes, aged newspaper, and a very high contrast layer. i wanted to 'age the painting'.
