I wanted to create a painted effect so here's what I did.
Did a subtle crop. Ran a levels adj. layer, layered on several textures and various blend mode layers. I've found that doing this helps create a painted effect. Removed some texture from the flowers. Cooled down the colour slightly. Added a slight blur layer and a soft light layer. Upped the brightness a bit and added white and black colour fill layers (set on screen and multiply) and masked as necessary. Saturated the red and green a touch and sharpened.
Textures courtesy of Jessica Drossin and French Kiss textures, also used 2 of my own textures.
