| Project 'Warm Fronts' | (Click on images to enlarge) | |
The “Warm Fronts” project was conceived in the winter of 2004. Inspired while watching the Border weather, Graham came up with the concept of painting 12 weather presenters to represent the months of the year, and combining them in a calendar and touring exhibition in support of a charity. |

-September- Emma Jesson |
| After some research inspiration was gained from the Delphic Sybil from Michelangelo’s Sistine Chapel ceiling. These Sybils were prophetesses who, along with the Prophets depicted on the ceiling, effectively predicted the future - as do weather forecasters! The spaces and symbols surrounding Michelangelo’s figures could be translated into regional maps and symbols with the plaques below now displaying the names of the months, and the fact that there were 12 figures in total clinched it! |  |
-October- Kate Reeves |
