Creative Rationale
Over the equatorial Atlantic Ocean west of Africa's bulge, where trade winds carry moisture across open waters under tropical sun. The moderate wind speed of 4.2 m/s creates controlled energy rather than explosive chaos, while the high humidity and light precipitation suggest color that pools and bleeds with watercolor-like fluidity. The warm temperature drives saturated tropical hues that accumulate at the canvas edges, leaving luminous breathing space in the center typical of Francis's mature period.
