I find this a piece of art. I wouldn't call it a "work" of art, but it's a piece. Call me nutty, but I tend to find beauty in almost everything from the veins of a leaf to an empty evening lit street. I'd be interested to see the piece in person, with something like this I would hope that if you got up close and personal with it you'd noticed slightly different textures, maybe even brush strokes.
That's where I think the real art would lie. How did the piece come to life, sometimes if you watch how the strokes of a painting unfold, even a simple painting like this, you get to delve a little into the mind of the creator. Dunno, call me a fucking nut, but that's what I find interesting about people's art, get a fun reflection of their personality, and possibly even get to ponder things for yourself too.
The fact that people have to ask if it's art or not makes it art to me. I would never buy a blue canvas, or even paint one and put it in my home. I'd rather just paint the whole wall. But then again, I'm a nut with a mutlishaded room and a painting of the crab nebula on my ceiling (was a pain in the ass to do, but worth it).
