I started with a photograph of a dusty, faded fake flower arrangement that has sat in our home's entryway for years, wanting to transform it into a vibrant piece of art I’d actually be proud to display.

To achieve the final look, I processed the image through a custom Photoshop ExtendScript, I developed. The script systematically cuts the frame into a modular grid of tiles. For each tile, it samples the local average color directly from the source image, blends that color wash back over the square at 50% opacity to heighten chromatic contrast, and applies an oil paint brush-stroke filter before assembling the patchwork back together. The resulting texture and color shifts breathe bold, abstract life into an otherwise neglected household object.

Very nice graphic work. This would make a great poster for an exhibit announcement or something. Well done.
