would you get bored of your own framed photos?

Let's say you want to enjoy your photography skills and show off the
detail you get from your MF images by putting the photo onto canvas
and hanging it from the wall like you had bought an original painting.
Would you get bored with it in a short time and prefer to give space
to a lesser photo taken by someone else? I am wondering if this has
happened to any of the MF photographers here. Maybe the photograph
could be disguised by turning it into more of an oil painting style
but I think that is more difficult than it sounds. Oil paintings do
not have out of focus areas and bokeh so how would you convert a
fairly detailed photo to a painting style and what tricks would you
use the deemphasize the more distant and less important areas while
avoiding a blurred effect?

I print photographs as photographs. I frame them as photographs.

On canvas does not do much for me.

Making them look like paintings defeats the entire purpose of
photography. The only thing worse is an actual painting made from a
photo with shallow DOF, and then the painter paints the OOF areas as on
the photograph. Looks entirely wrong. Painters see everything in
focus. That's how the human eye works.
