Just a thought how about making a picture just one image to describe a decade, a period of time that you are fond of....or hated - in one picture! A challenge a one off to stretch your imaginations. Good luck Td'ers!

To set the ball rolling I made this wacky image to describe the seventies

Well don't all rush at once, thought it was a good idea. Glad this ain't a popularity contest!

I love prehistory and wonder about these statuettes they've found all over. Was it beauty? Was it fertility? Was it the women's era?

These little sculptures are believed to be fertility goddesses. I can remember pictures of them in a set of Children's Encyclopaedia Britannica (donkeys years ago ... probably printed before I was a twinkle in my Daddy's eye). I was so young at the time, I didn't even understand what 'fertility' meant ... but the memory of that weird little shape stayed with me.

To anyone who may be offended by fertility images, please look no further.

it's a beautiful idea, hoping that this become a permanent "challenge"

This is a great idea, Steve! I have a lot of ideas on this one, but lately I feel like drawing a stick man would be too difficult for me. But if I recover enough to draw something half decent I'll try put a few in. Just remembered one already in my gallery that I could enter...

LOL Hazer - I can so well relate to finding a stick man a challenge to draw!! Sometimes it just doesn't work, does it? Give it time - I'm sure your inspiration will return!

To me, this picture I've drawn describes an era with which I have a love/hate relationship. Some aspects of this time hold a huge appeal - the elegance, the stately homes and gardens, THE HORSES (lol)... but I'm sure that for the vast majority of people who lived in those times life was very difficult, and even the rich were bound up in social conventions that we would find completely stifling.

I'm not drawing right now because I keep losing my connection. Here's an old one ... the days before supermarkets:
