Is it art?

I know that this isn't really music related, but I'm sure that everyone has wondered at some point what actually makes something 'art'. Well yesterday, on our way to Church, we were stuck at a robot. There was a lot of traffic as one of the lanes was closed so that the lines can be repainted. As we stopped opposite one guy painting, I commented to my husband at how accurate the painter was. He was painting over faded paint, but I was pretty impressed at how neat he was. I certainly could not do something like that free hand. My husband agreed with me and stated that he is an artist. I really would never have thought of it like that before, if we had not been watching him so closely. Anyway, it really got me thinking about the concept of what we think is art. It really is so subjective.
