Very nice indeed. The painting effect is very subtle (on my screen) but it works. Quite lovely I might add.

I like that the colors are more brilliant. Very good.

Thanks everyone. As an " Insecure Artist" I appreciate it.
@dinasset, those are some cool techniques. I am going to try the Japanese & acrylic ones on other pictures.
@Photomaster, When I saw the rich red wall it reminded me of the Old Masters so I went for a Realist painting look on this piece.I think I will tweak it a bit, though, when I see it here it looks a little too subtle.

I was wondering if anyone could point me to a way to add brush strokes to give photos a more "painted" feel.

I would try playing with some of the effects in G'Mic. Some of the painting effects in G'Mic are absolutely amazing. Also GIMPressionist has many nice brushes as well. (Filters>Artistic>GIMPressionist)
