Abstract expressionism always has been, and always will be, my first love. With this piece, the initial premise was "can I write a bit of code that will render images in the style that I actually paint in real life?"
It took several full days of poking and prodding, and I departed from the original mission once I had what I was looking for, but in general, I think I succeeded. My wife was looking over my shoulder at one point, and thought I was looking at a scan of one of my actual paintings, which sounds like success to me.
