In general, this piece continues my study of procedural abstract expressionism. However, I've developed a new small bit of code I am testing here; I am trying to create a "clumping" noise function that looks natural but doesn't have the obvious "look" of Perlin noise, and is more controllable. This piece contains my first public use of this. So it is, in a way, a test.

I was inspired by the IRL paintings of Francesco D'Adamo, specifically his "Manifesti" series, although (as is the way of things) the end result looks nothing like what I started with, and is a more general 1950s abstract expressionism look.

This piece is a gift to the collectors of all my recent "a" mints. Thank you all!
