Was having a play over the weekend with a demo version of Dynamic Auto Painter which a friend put me onto. Interesting program to play with and good for turning photos (portraits, pets, familiar landscapes etc.) into paintings.

Thought I would give it a go with the well known Hubble2 Jupiter image.
Settings:
- Pastels style (palette = light set)
- Brush size range 2 to 800
- approx 225,000 strokes
Compressed rendered result is attached below.
