My painting became a game?

I came across a website with an interactive game sort of thing, that allows users to 'drip paint' on a blank canvas today, as a digital recreation of my works.

And of course, I tried it out of curiosity and amusement.



I am really irritated with the blotches of color that appears when my mouse stays at a place for too long though. I don't understand why anyone would want to (drip) paint digitally with a mouse, when they can just grab a canvas and paint to do it, where the sense intimacy with the materials is so prominent and important. And just the action of applying the paint itself, the movements that leaves marks on the canvas, is such an enjoyable sensation and process.


This was created out of annoyance with the blotches. Like I've said, it was somewhat amusing.
