Painterly Landscape ~ Read The Rules - Capture Date Requirement

Challenge #12 in the Outside The Box series. Hosted by JamesWG.

Challenge has finished

Your challenge is to create a landscape that looks like it might be a watercolor or oil painting. Although there are many "filters" and "textures" prepackaged with various applications, I would like you to create your own textures to enhance your entry and NOT use the "off the shelf textures". The texture should be consistent with the original image - some examples might be tree bark for a forest, rippling water for a lake etc.

Processing rules:

Take your primary image (Landscape) and add via a layer (not just filtering the main image) a second image to create a textured look for your entry.
HDR is okay, but the entry should not look like HDR was the only technique used for the challenge. (See my example image)

Images must be shot after the announcement date of the challenge.

Additional rules:

You must explain how you achieved your final image and what image you used (created) to add texture to you entry.
You must include this information or you will be disqualified.
Your primary image must conform to Capture Date Requirements
Please observe DPR rules regarding content.
No Frames.
No Watermarks or Signatures.
I expect you to vote if you submit an image.
Please do not solicit votes from friends as this only skews the results and gives a false impression of the quality of your entry.
