Related: About this forumMy picture intitled "Road of Life".
It is my interpretation on the journey we are all on. The road is heading up because that is the direction we, as humans, are always going. The compass has 'West' at the top because that is also the direction we are all heading, into the sunset. At the bottom, you see a 'One Way' sign. That is, to me, self explanatory. There are also "Bump Ahead" signs, because life has many.
The other two roads represent people along the way. Some are just passing acquaintances, others merge with us and stay with us to the setting sun.
Towards the top, there is a "Hospital" sign. This represents children as well as the start of the road. As you can see there is a crosswalk path leading from the hospital to show we don't just take off on the road. We start small and slow, as children.
I also decided to make my Pen name my Artist name.
I hope to show you more of "A.D. Bullock's" work soon!

(68,644 posts)I'm curious about the orientation of the "compass", or directional cross; usually North is up but this one shows West is up and East is down, South is Left and North is Right, and I wonder if that's deliberate or arbitrary, symbolic of something, or of nothing at all.
