Arctic 60n 70w

Creative Rationale

Over the frozen waters of Baffin Bay west of Greenland, the Arctic atmosphere presents extreme cold with unusually high pressure and complete saturation. The severe -12.9K temperature with its dramatic 28K anomaly calls for blue to dominate this Mondrian composition, while the high pressure gradient of 50.15 Pa/cell demands a dense network of intersecting black lines creating small rectangular cells. The perfect 100% humidity translates to bold, thick black divisions, and the minimal 1.9 m/s wind from due north allows for a relatively balanced composition with only slight asymmetric weighting toward the top of the canvas.
