The second one up from the bottom, where he's laying down in front of the bench, looks like it could be an oil painting. Happy birthday, doggo!

Yeah, I've seen that on some cameras if you zoom in really far. You'd just need to develop a method of printing on canvas that makes it look like paint. Some programs exist that are supposed to make pictures look like paintings, but the one I tried was too fake looking. It used a pattern of short random brush strokes that look unnatural to the subject matter.

Yes, a highly focused digital zoom will produce a very grainy image. In this case, it looks like it was taken close up, but in a very dark space, so the the ISO on the camera likely jumped way high, which also produces a grainy image. Newer, fancier digital cameras with optical lenses now have the abiliity to somehow go up to a 6400 ISO without it looking grainy, which is quite impressive.
If you wanted to make a photo look like an oil painting and if you have some skills, you could use Adobe Photoshop or GIMP. If you have no experience with programs of that nature, you could just use something like DALL-E or Davinci (among a few other options, with DALL-E being one of the best) to make AI generated alterations by simply entering in word commands such as, "make it look like an oil painting; brighten exposure; increase sharpness; increase saturation; give it a renaissance art feel," etc.
These AI art programs are extremely powerful and, once you learn to how properly enter in commands, and how to make adjustments, and learn what to expect from each command, the type of art that you can create from a photo, or even from nothing, is limitless. There are some new AI programs out for editing video now as well.

On a bit of a holiday up in the Norwegian mountains. This morning Kira was out in the long lead and came out of the bushes looking pleased with herself.
One dead rabbit once I pulled its neck. It was squealing like mad.
Had a wander up to a fresh water/snowmelt lake this afternoon. Tried out the doggy rucksack. She moaned putting it on but was good as gold once it was on there.

I've packed a great many miles with three different dogs over the years, and have learned a few things about the ins and outs of it. A critical point for the safety, comfort, and long-term happiness of the dog is loading the panniers with equal weight on each side.
Not roughly equal...I mean as exactly equal as you can. I have resorted to adding small smooth stones to one side or pouring off a little water from one of his bottles, so as to make it so. The heavier the load, the more vital this becomes.
I bring this up looking at your second photo, @biggun Rich

Cheers B. Thanks for confirming.
We realised once we hit the proper trail and adjusted it a bit. It was fairly light though as it was the first time.
Much better on the way back when we had it as equal as we could.
I will endeavour from here on in to level them out.

Glad to help. If you come up with any questions I'd be happy to share what I've learned, if it might help.

This is my sister's Shiba Inu, Kasper, and my English Labrador retriever, Harry Winston, just before I took his bone away. You can see in his eyes that he knows what I'm about to do.
The doggy play place that my parent's send him to during the week gave him a bone because he "volunteered" to be a greeter at their new dog treat factory. They actually specially requested Harry. He greeted people for three hours and spent some of the time playing with other dogs.
I took the bone away because it was natural and I saw that shards of bone were coming off. He didn't seem interested in the shards, but I didn't want him to eat them, so I gave him one of his synthetic bones instead. I literally had just said, "you won't like this, but I'm taking your bone away, Harry," just before that picture was shot. Hence the confused, sad look on his face haha.
Kasper is awesome, too! I swear my sister hires someone to take professional shots of him, but he's just really photogenic.

When I was working in Connecticut the head of cleaning on the resort had a Collie.
It got skunked about every two weeks.
They said the only thing was to wash the dog with Tomatoe Juice. Luckily they got it in catering cans from the kitchens.
Seemed to do the trick although the dog always looked horrified when he was bright red and being bathed.

Tomato juice works, but a bit of lemon juice and hydrogen peroxide works really well too. Apply liberally, it's the acids in the fruit that break down the skunk musk-oils.

So my bud came over and brought his 9 week old pup with. D was rather smitten with the little girl and let her walk all over him. When he meets other dogs he will garb a stick or ball and run around goading them into chasing him but today he was running around with a chunk of firewood that was bigger than the puppy.

How FUN! Is the pup a golden?

She is a mix rotty, husky, yellow lab. She is super chill and very bold she had no reservations about going up to D saying hello.
