Happy little clouds are in progress.
Show HN: In memory of Bob Ross, a simple painting generator, Gogh

I may use these generated pictures as backgrounds for slide presentations, so it would be nice to hear if the author is fine with that. What license is the resulting picture subject to?
The Joy of Painting is great (Bob Ross Incorporated, not so much). I don't think I'd ever hang one of those quaint images on a wall. But the quick techniques to achieve a certain effect are fascinating, at least to an ignoramus like me, e.g. pushing down with a certain brush to get tree branches, or swooshing down on previously drawn stuff to create reflections on water.
Incidentally, I've always thought there was something almost algorithmic to it: the motives themselves were really formulaic, and the techniques reminded me of certain Photoshop tools and brush effects. The submission is a fantastic start, but I think you could go much farther than that.
Nice - but needs more happy little clouds :)
And it's further a demonstration of how magical Bob Ross was; without his narration, it's just an insipid landscape, if the clouds are not happy and little, and the left cloud does not have the right cloud as a friend.
