In my last post I showed the painting on the left. It was painted 50% by me, and 50% by my robot, Zanelle. When Zanelle first attempted to paint it, the algorithm I wrote to paint it messed up pretty bad. So I needed to spend a couple hours touching the painting up by hand.
But then I rewrote the algorithm and tried it again. The painting on the right was the end result of the repaired algorithm. Based on how it turned out, I just finished adjusting the algorithm a second time and am currently using my robot to paint a third version. Though I like the second version stylistically, I wanted to try higher contrast and tighter brush strokes.
As I just mentioned, Zanelle just started on the third copy. She should finish in about 18 hours. I will post the third painting in another comparison when it is done.
If you have not read any of my previous posts, this is called:
The Resurrection, 14×18, Acrylic on Canvas.
There are lots of themes in here besides the obvious and those I discussed in my last post, but I want to leave them for the audience to figure out. Write me if you have any theories and I will share my thoughts with you.

Very interesting. Sounds like a lot of math.
