"If the intent is to visually represent the objects in a way that expresses an idea, emotion, mood or whatever, that goes beyond simply representing a three dimensional image as accurately as possible in two dimensions, it's an "artistic" representation

If the intention is to express beauty?

If the artist's intent is to express/communicate/show the beauty (or ugliness) of an object or setting, is the subject itself art? Can observing a heron be an artistic appreciation, or can the art only be perceived by Audubon and conveyed in his work?
