Creative Rationale

Over the North Atlantic, far west of the European continental shelf at 45°N 30°W, moderate winds churn through a region of steady atmospheric pressure and cool temperatures. The moderate wind speed of 13.2 m/s from the northwest creates dynamic energy that I've translated into Francis-inspired color bursts radiating from multiple centers, while the stable pressure and cool temperature anomaly manifest as pools of deep blues and purples that collect at the canvas edges. The moderate humidity and light precipitation appear as luminous washes and organic splatters that bridge the energetic color fields with breathing space in the composition's heart.
