But I've never been a fan of their artistic filters. The intuitive randomness of a human brush stroke is one of the few things PS is not good at filterwise IMO. Also the way the light falls on a canvas is very hard to imitate. So I love your initiative, and I see some Hopper in there, but alas, it is not the same at all. How did the original image look?
