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)

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.

The colours and mood really appeal to me, it's reminiscent of Constable. Perhaps the 3 poles spoil the composition a little, but it's a great painterly effect.

Couldn't reasonably give a vote as no explanation of processing was given - goes against contest rules.
