FARMERS FORECAST / EDITORIAL ILLUSTRATION (School Project)
Oil / 16" x 20" Wood Panel

The article is about farmers in Canada who are going out of business because of the changing climate and the affect it's having on their crops. A folklore tale states that farmers used to forecast the weather by watching how high the swallows flew. The saying goes, "If the swallows fly high, It's clear sky. If the swallows fly low, rain will follow". I used this as a metaphor to show how the future for farmers is uncertain and diffucult to forecast.
