An ode to James Gurney

What is art?  I found this answer on the artist James Gurney’s blog (http://gurneyjourney.blogspot.com/). 



Art is the deliberate transmission of emotion. 



Bravo! bold bohemian. I like your answer. It is simple but leaves room for interpretation. What kind of emotion? Who or what is transmitting the emotion? I love the question "what is art" because no one is ever really right or wrong, unless of course they use absolutist language. I am going to start collecting and compiling answers to this question. 


This watercolor pencil sketch by James Gurney, surely and simply stated, is art.
