    Looks like a painting! I love it.

    (Is it tilted a bit? Higher on the R?)

    If I knew how to do Oil Paint in PS, I would do a second version of this in that app.

    I believe you are right Stan. Better? I will see if I can find out about oil paint in PS, surely there is a youtube video on it.

    Applying the Stylize->Oil Paint after making it a smart object with a few other steps. It needs a lighter effect about the bill etc.

    Wow, the oil painting is out there.
    Is that something you can vary the intensity or is it a one click thing?

    You can vary the intensity. There are about four slider based settings which are applied globally to the image. Not sure if I can go lighter or not. This feature seems to lean towards an impressionist style of painting.
