Actually, pseudo tilt-shift Van Gogh, but that’s a small quibble.
Tilt-shift photography is a process in which depth of field and lens angle are manipulated to make a real scene look like a miniature.
The effect can be simulated in Photoshop with judicious selections and applications of blur filters.
The folks over at ArtCyclopedia, one of my favorite online art resources, decided to apply the Photoshop version to some paintings, just to see what would happen.
The chose some of Van Gogh’s paintings as their subjects. The results are uneven, but where the effect works, it works quite well, and produces amusing and enlightening versions of familiar paintings that have the charm of children’s pop-up books or dioramas.
At best, they let us look at these paintings with fresh eyes, always a delight.

Amazing, really amazing. Thanks for posting this, Charley.
Now I want to run home and try pseudo-tilt-shifting on my own work.
a wobderful picture
Love the idea of this. There should be more of these beautiful paintings put out there.
Oh! Awesome. Really means these paintings are really refreshing. I am sure if anyone will see this as soon as he/she awakes, hi/her mind will be refreshed.
The 2nd, 3rd and 4th one were really unmatchable, it is so clear.
Pretty Awesome…
But this one is actually moving:
