Is painting on a B2 visitor visa considered work?

My father is a retired professional artist and art professor overseas.

He still paints as a hobby, and gives away the paintings to family and occasionally sells them.

While visiting on a B2 visitor visa, he painted occasionally to kill the time. Am I correct in assuming he would be violating his B2 if he sold some of the paintings?

I am in the process of a petition for his AOS to an immediate relative green card. After receiving the I-765 EAD, is he still technically barred from selling anything he painted prior to the I-765 receipt?
