No reason to make it into a painting. Photos of this kind of thing can be art in their own right. I mean, who cares, but it's worth being aware that large photographic prints are acceptable as art, and, actually, photorealistic painting is often considered pretty cheesy.

Here's an example of a photographer whose (troubling?) work takes the form of very large aerial photos of feedlots: https://mishkahenner.com/Feedlots

Don’t have to convince me — I see photos as art too. I thought paintings with these because of the abstract shapes. So, not really photo-realism, but interesting compositions to lay down paint within.
