Creative Rationale

This composition captures the atmospheric turbulence over the Great Lakes region of eastern Ontario, where unseasonably warm air meets winter's edge. The deep low pressure system (978.8 Pa) and strong southwest winds (8.5 m/s from 210°) create a dynamic dance of color bursting from the canvas edges, while the high humidity and light precipitation manifest as luminous pools of saturated blues and violets that seem to glow against expansive white breathing space. Following Sam Francis's approach to energetic abstraction, I've let the meteorological forces drive explosive splashes of color that radiate outward, leaving contemplative negative space at the center where the eye can rest amidst the atmospheric storm.
