[center]The due date for this challenge will be on the [b]14th of October[/b], or four weeks from now.[/center]

[center] Theme: Age[/center]

The theme for the first challenge will be age. Create a piece of artwork that in someway incorporates the element of age within it. It could be a statue overgrown with wildlife, a home weathered from years of abandonment, or say a portrait of an elderly person. You can use a reference from online, or go out and take your own! Your finished peice should convey to the viewer a sense of time long past. Feel free to get abstract or surreal if you wish, so long as you stick with the theme. 

Guidelines for your submission:

You should submit the image at a reasonable size, large enough to see but not so large it breaks the page. Under your image, tell us the name of the piece if you've chosen to name it, tell us what medium it is and maybe tell us about what the piece means to you or why you created it the way you did. 

[center]*** Please do not submit your work before the 14th, just to keep the suspense of seeing everyone's work up! [/center]

Below are some complimentary photographs just to get your creative juices flowing.
