Hello I’m primarily a painter, but have an interest in processing. I’m chugguing away learning it from Daniel Shiffman’s Learning Processing.

Here is an example of what some of my paintings look like .

and here’s a link to my code and what it makes.[https://www.openprocessing.org/sketch/912193](https://www.openprocessing.org/sketch/912193) The code is heavily annotated to help me work out what I need the code to do.

Always a good idea to annotate the code - surprising how short a time it takes to forget why you did something.

I like the paintings it produces. 😃

**Great stuff!**

Your painting brings to mind one of my favorite artists, one of the pioneers of abstraction [Frantisek Kupka](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Franti%C5%A1ek_Kupka) (who arguably preceded Kandinsky in producing the first non-representational fine-art paintings).

What you’re seeking to do seems to align with my own expressive goals. I look forward to seeing more stuff from you!
