I know nature purists aren't drawn to painterly images like this of wildlife and nature, but my own tastes are very broad in the photographic realm. I like to experiment with many different kinds of image techniques. For this portrait of a timber wolf, I applied two different Photoshop plugin filters -- Topaz Impression and Topaz Simplify. If this were printed on canvas, it would be indistinguishable from a painting in which an artist could have used acrylics or oils. If this painterly technique appeals to you, can you actually find online companies in China that will actually paint your photograph onto a canvas. You can select a style of your choice. For example, more realistic and detailed versus more abstract, i.e. smaller brush strokes or larger ones. You can also choose between oil paints or acrylics. You would receive an actual original painting of your work. I've done that before and it's quite impressive what they do, and it makes a wonderful framed work of art.
