This image I posted before - it's one that I said was simplified and other stuff. As an explanation to what I do when manipulating an image, I posted the second image below to show a full size section of this image that was reduced in size and jpg compressed. You see that there is a big difference in perception when viewed in different sizes... some images are done an injustice when resized and compressed. 
 The painterly effects that I used on this image include simplifying detail, finding edges, embossing, adding texture layers and blending layers as well as other magic. experiment experiment experiment I printed this image large with pigment inks on watercolor paper.

 The Anemone which has a large white flower in spring and very beautiful at that stage changes drastically when the seeds are ready to spread,,, It's also known as "mouse on a stick", "old man of the mountains" and a few other descriptive names. The background here is a heather.

 I made this image at Cow Canyon in the Escalante Staircase National Monument in southern Utah about a year ago. I liked the simplicity of the bare sandstone and Pinion Pine against the blue sky. digitally simplified in Photoshop...

 Hamma Hamma as this river is named means stinky stinky in Chinook Jargon - the Pacific Northwest native trade language... it was named so because after the salmon spawn, they die and the smell is strong enough to drive people away and attract bears from miles away... why only this river is named such and not others??? The image... this one was made from near the Mildred Lakes trailhead in the Olympic National Forest on the east side of the Olympic National Park on the Olympic Peninsula in western WA... I like the way the stream starts in the mist and clouds where the eye enters the picture and then courses through the composition at an angle in steps... the photograph is successful in what I wanted it to show but when scanned and put into JPG for the internet, it seemed a little busy (too much detail in the general texture) so I did a little bit of Photoshop work simplifying the textures - combining near color areas into one so as to reduce the steps in texture and then in another layer, used filters to find the edges and render the image into black and white with all significant edges being black and the remainder being white... then, I placed this layer on top the simplified layer and used the "multiply" blend mode in layers to combine them and then reduced the find edges layer till it was barely detectable... you can see in the water the simplification steps and edges significantly. This image needs a lot more work but I posted it here as thus for demonstration only.
