Does "programmatic impressionism" count as art?
Somehow it feels like cheating. I wonder if Jackson Pollock ever felt like 
that.
I guess it doesn't matter much, since I've never made any money at it.

Very cool. I wonder how many other renderers or modelers could do something 
like this.  How common is it to have a scripting language powerful enough to 
do that?

This one I like best.
I would say this is art, as art is not defined by the tools you use to 
achieve a creation. If the result is original, interesting enough to attract 
the attention of the beholder, and answers to some (unspoken) esthetic 
criteria...

Yes, yellow and green!  Gorgeous.  Not only do I prefer the harmony, 
(the grey really makes it,) it works better for me with the greater 
range of tone adding tactility.
