Arctic 70n 20w
Creative Rationale
Over the Greenland Sea in the high Arctic, where the ice meets the churning waters west of Svalbard, a dynamic low-pressure system churns through the polar darkness. The moderate winds from the south-southeast and unusually warm temperature anomaly create energetic movement, while the high humidity and light precipitation suggest moisture-laden air masses colliding in this remote seascape. I've interpreted this as explosive bursts of saturated blues, whites, and warm ochres radiating from concentrated points of energy, with Sam Francis-inspired color pooling at the edges and dynamic splatters suggesting the restless motion of Arctic waters beneath stormy skies.
