Ode To Impressionism
Is there a meeting ground between painting and photography? Can a lens render like a paint brush?

Very graceful.  Yes, I think photography can speak the impressionist language too.

Some say those of us who love to talk about cameras should instead go and take pictures. I say we should go and also take pictures.

Nice concept.

Your question is probably rhetorical, but if you like that kind of a look straight out of camera, you could consider going slightly OOF intentionally, or introduce some intentional motion in your subject with a slow shutter speed, or just move your camera while the exposure is made. The results are completely unpredictable but often end up looking like paintings.

One example is this one below.
