Watering in August
oil on cradled masonite, 2014
24”h x 24”w
Part of the Rural Superstitions and Astrology series, this piece is about a tried and true tip that is also mentioned in the Farmer's Almanac of 1900. It states: “be sure that while watering in August you water enough to reach the roots.” Having grown up on a Kansas farm and reading the old Farmer’s Almanacs passed down to me, I am very interested in the way that farming for ages has been part science, astrology, and chance.
