In this painting by Kyffin Williams we see two farmers in discussion. Grey clouds have appeared above their heads and dark colours and thick paint, typical of the artist's style, have been used. What might these farmers be discussing?

With significant changes in the farming industry over the years, as well as depression and anxiety affecting many farmers and their families, this work reminds us how important it is to chat and seek support from those around us.
