Lately I’ve been painting landscapes with gouache paint

This week I have been painting natural fantasy landscapes with my dog because I miss him.

I find that painting cats is a good way to reduce anxiety. Protesting on Saturday at the No Kings rally should also help. #painting #nokings

Hey. Meow.

I named this cellular automata algorithm “Great Wave” because the images it generates remind me of Katsushika Hokusai’s painting, “The Great Wave off Kanagawa.” You can find the recipe for this algorithm on page 122 of my book, “Beading with Algorithms.” #generativeart #mathart #greatwave

More fun with paper folding #origami

#Embroidery with algorithms: I thought I’d try a staggered cross stitch with an algorithm I call “Buds & Vines” to make this patch on my scrappy purple pants. I’m using the hexagonal weave in the fabric as the grid to help me place my cross stitches, with one X over each hexagon. #generative

Black Hole, but in Green I wanted a black hole, but more colorful, like in green, to match the couch. Watercolor and black pigment ink on Tomoe River paper, A4 #blackhole #painting gwenbeads.etsy.com/listing/4466...

As a math teacher, I want every kid to play the board game Monopoly and be the banker, so they can learn to count by 5s, 10s, 50s, & 100s, & learn how to make change. I want them to roll dice and develop an understanding of randomness and probability & learn the economic consequences of monopolies.

In the first image, you can see a four-color multiset cellular automata rule with its 20 parts and two symmetric examples of the patches it generates. The shows color cycling with a period of 3 and 12 colors. The right is the same patch without color cycling. #math #mathart #generative #beading

Happy Valentine’s Weekend The extant of my celebration is cutting paper.

Pulling up loops at the corners to attach the work to the backing fabric. Will weave in the long ends to stabilize the edges… www.grannylifecrochet.com #grannylife #mathart #geek #crochet 🧶

This is cellular automata on a staggered grid, like we use for beaded peyote stitch. I call this algorithm Stained Glass, which I describe on pages 49-51 in my new book. #math #mathart #generative #beading

This is cellular automata applied to a staggered grid, like in beaded peyote stitch. All of these images were created with the same algorithm, what I call “Vines on a Fence.” The only difference among them is how I started each patch. I give the recipe for Vines on a Fence on page 105 of my new book

A little cellular automata to color your day #mathart

A beaded bead made using the methods described in my new book, Beading with Algorithms: Cellular Automata in Peyote Stitch. #mathart #beading #asmr

I started this project twelve years ago, and today I hold the result in my hand. It’s a book that combines bead weaving with math called, “Beading with Algorithms: Cellular Automata in Peyote Stitch.” This book is the first of its kind, a recipe book of algorithms for making pixel art.

A little fantasy landscape to momentarily distract you from the chaos… Question: Do rivers ever run away from the ocean? 4.75” square Gouache on cotton paper #painting #gouache #art #landscape

It’s called cinnamon bunning. #dog

Tried one of the “fractal cuts” from the book with the same name. #origami #mathart

Allium and Other Plants with Cat Gouache on cotton paper 5” by 6.5” I’ve been practicing my brush strokes, painting on the backsides of some of my old color studies because practice is how we improve. #painting #art #gouache

I tried to paint the same scene twice. They are both gouache on cotton paper, 4.75” square. Which style do you prefer? #painting #Gouache #watercolor

I can tell I got the colors right where I want them when I don’t have to edit the photo. Orange Sunset over the River Gouache and watercolor on cotton paper 4.75” square gwenbeads.etsy.com/listing/4432... #painting #gouache #landscape #watercolor
