The light and subtle hues in this photo are amazing! I see an oil painting in there!

Yes, here is a large painting (4 ft x 6 ft) of Gardenwife's Plant File photo of Castor Bean Plant (Ricinus communis).

I sat and studied your photo last night and got completely inspired and fascinated by all the nuances. If O.K. with you, I will put it on my "to do" list for easel projects.

They all look fantastic.
I just don't have the right touch to oil paint though.
Go ahead and oil paint any of my photos you wish to.
