Equatorial Atlantic 0n 30w
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.
