Maltese Dog in Forsythia

A white Maltese dog, about 4-5 years old, running along a path filled with forsythia, flower trees and grass in an outdoor park in Seoul. The picture looks like an oil painting, the colors are brighter, and the angle of the picture is diagonal from the upper left. I would like to see the background and the dog at a distance, as if I were looking at it from a little further away. It looks too much like a photograph now. Paint it more like a painting on canvas. --ar 9:16
