Painting Improved with Photoshop Elements Modification? Opinions?

Last week I painted a 11” X 14”original piece on 140# mixed media paper with acrylics, soft pastels, and pencil. It was not planned in advance so I call these pieces non-representational landscapes. The only plan I have is to created a horizontal line across the paper that is located off-center and level for basic orientation.

When the piece was finished I was pleased with the color values and style and enjoyed viewing it as the sun’s daylight faded and the room lights came on one-by-one. It really looked cool in the different light sources which is a basic need for me to keep these type of daily paintings.

Do you ever wonder what a painting could look like in different styles? I do. So, I imported a photo of the painting into Photoshop Elements and played around a little.

The featured image above comes about from applying the Cutout Style to the original unmodified image. I think it would be neat if the original art was printed as a poster using this style. What do you think? Let me know!
