The style is interesting.  Could be useful in some situations, less so
in others.  I wouldn't want to focus on this style to the exclusion of
more traditional styles, but augmenting the collection with these
seems okay.

The size and technical quality seem okay, assuming you view them as
impressionistic rather than photorealistic.

These are derivative works of the photographs they come from, clearly,
so you should only do conversions of photographs that you have rights
to (preferably, photos you took yourself).  Is the software for doing
this freely available?  I have certain photographs that I might like
to try doing this to (though I might edit them somewhat afterward).
