Hello everybody,
Lovely capture and beautiful work everybody!
Here is my version. I did few versions of impressionist filter and blend them together ( lower the opacity and a little masking here and there), added a color filter, textures.

Another version using buzz and adjust

These artistic photo renditions look way better than the actual bike!

Are you saying my bike is not beautiful?
Just kidding, I took this picture in Indonesia.

It's a really, really, really great photo of a tired old bike. How's that?

This was a quick interpretation,using Flaming Pear's India Ink with a color blend mode atop. I like red.

Here is one a little less impressionistic.......for what it's worth.

Steve, I like the second one a tad better because it appears to be less fragmented...on the other hand I like the lighting better in the first.

Anyway...they both really look great.

Great catch, Sylvia! Thanks for the play.

Still playing with this plugin....I think I like it, but am not sure yet. So you folks are getting the benefit, (or the result), of my experimentation.

But I thank you much for the encouragement.

Jpeg compression is uglyfying it a lot so here is the real one in png :
