Arctic 70n 140e

Creative Rationale

Over the Arctic Ocean north of Siberia, where the Laptev Sea meets the polar ice cap, an intense low pressure system creates dramatic atmospheric turbulence. The moderate southwest wind at 2.6 m/s guides diagonal paint drags across the canvas, while the steep pressure gradient of 35.6 Pa/cell demands multiple revealed layers of complex color interaction. The extreme cold of -17K with its significant 31.2K anomaly calls for deep, frigid undertones breaking through warmer surface layers, creating the tension between concealed and revealed that defines Richter's squeegee technique.
