Landscape Photoshop Painting

For this project, I was given the option of doing a landscape or a self-portrait.  I choose the former because I wanted to depict something more broad and expansive.  Never have I used the mixer-brush in Photoshop and it was a real pleasure to use as it made turning a photograph into a near seamless experience.  It was addicting to say the least and it really made good use of my graphics tablet.
