Is it art?

This piece of 22”x28” canvas board has a lot of history.  This is the board I paint on.  I’ve been taping paper to the back of it, placing things over it for under painting and using it as a studio tool for over 15 years.  Looking back I wish I had taken a photo of it monthly.  I would have captured the top most layers of acrylic paint and now would have a visual diary of my palette-in-process.  Well, it’s too late for that now.  Anyway, it’s time to lay it down on the table while I apply a coat of varnish to the latest piece I am working on.  Is it art? 

Yes, I think it is.
