I don't know if you can tell or not, but I did a lot more work on this painting.I did not use a filter to produce this "effect," I "painted" it all by hand stroke by stroke in Photoshop. It was a long, show process.
Here is the tutorial I more or less followed: Scott Deardorff Beagle Painting.

Scrolling up and down between the two, I couldn't see the difference. However, as soon as I took the time to open them both simultaneously and resize them so I could compare them side by side, I could see differences. The feathers, for example, are much sharper and better defined in the improved version.
Whew! Did I pass the test?
YES. I basically repainted the whole thing again (phew!), getting rid of all the pixels. There were pixelated portions which destroyed, in my mind, the look of a painting. You can see them as spots and squares in the larger version of the first one. And then I worked on defining the edges a little and so on.
