    This painting represents my journey throughout the holidays. The bridge was drawn from another photo I took, and is meant to symbolise the 6-8 week journey I took.

The forest type colours around the bridge are just supposed to bring out the brighter colours of the rainbow, which is college, to show the different surroundings I would be introduced to.

This now cannot limit the interpretations of a piece of art as it can be left up to the viewers imagination. For example, Alphonse Allais's artwork called  'Negroes fighting in a cellar at night' (translated  from French) is simply a black piece of paper in  a frame. It was originally created as a joke to show that a picture can be seen as anything when given the right description.  He also created a red piece and a white piec...
