There's a couple of fun programs, Jasc® Paint Shop Pro® 7 & Virtual Painter™, that let you take an image and apply different painting effects to it.   You can either click on the "SlideShow" or click on each thumbnail to see a larger rendition of the 'painting' - it's very hard to see the differences in just the thumbnails.  Sometimes on the slideshow, the first picture will be missed the first time around, but you can see it the second time.  Have fun!!
