Well, I hope you don't judge a painting by the number of brushstrokes.
The fewer the better, in fact, same here. And yes, a painting with 8
brushstrokes is copyright protected, same here. And copyright protection
is automatic BTW, it exists the moment the work is created. Read the
copyright FAQ that I post every week.

And surprise, surprise, someone recently asserted her copyrights on a
smiley drawing! I find it ridiculous, but she acted undoubtedly within
her legal rights.
