DigiPaint-III (the HAM paint program from NewTek) has an AREXX port.
It includes a demo on the distribution disk that runs an Execute script.
This script has commands like "Hey DigiPaint Pend 47 04", and
"Hey DigiPaint Penu 267 96".  (This case, it says to move to coordinates
(47,04), start a pen-down operation, move to (267,96), pen-up.)

"Hey" is a little program that sends a message to the specified program's
AREXX port.  The source, hey.asm, is included on the disk.

It does show how easy it is to control an AREXX compatible program without
AREXX.
