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

These circular areas are created by a rotating structure (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Center_pivot_irrigation) not one sprinkler in the center of the field.
The machines often have a radius of 400m, so they're a lot bigger than the range even a firehose could achieve.
