Arctic 60n 70w

Creative Rationale

Over the Arctic waters east of Baffin Bay, where sea ice meets the frigid atmosphere, the moderate wind from the south-southwest carries relatively warm air masses across this polar landscape. The low pressure system creates dense accumulations of saturated color that pool heavily at the canvas edges, while the surprisingly warm temperature anomaly of 15.5K above normal translates into vivid primary hues rather than the expected Arctic pallor. The moderate wind speed drives energetic splatters and organic color bursts outward from these edge pools, leaving expanses of luminous white space in the center that breathe with the vastness of the polar atmosphere.
