I experimented with impressionistic imaging some more this morning, and I really like what I captured. I think these look much better than my first attempts a few weeks ago. Some of this has to do with the time of day. This was taken at roughly 9:00am, with much more sunlight than my first attempts. I also moved the camera only vertically during the exposures (0.5 – 2 seconds).

I like the idea here, but I wonder how they would look with a wider landscape, rather than a few tree trunks.

Not sure…I haven’t tried any wider landscapes yet. My inclination is that this effect may look a little odd with a busier scene. Maybe moving in a side-to-side motion might work. I’ll give it a try and post another image soon. Thanks for the input!
