Digital Manipulation

I recently started playing around again with digital effects to make photographs look like paintings.  I have played with this using Photoshop from time to time.  I happened to see someone mention a free painting effects program called PhotoSketcher, in an online photography discussion forum.  I downloaded and started playing with this program and was quite impressed with the capability of this free program.  Below are a few examples that I worked on.  The first image in each pair is the original photograph.  The second image is the digitally modified image.
