Creative Rationale
Over the Atlantic Ocean southeast of Bermuda, where warm tropical waters meet shifting atmospheric currents, moderate winds push color outward from a luminous center while high pressure creates concentrated pools of saturated hue. The warm temperature anomaly translates to vivid cadmium reds and ultramarine blues that burst energetically across the canvas, while high humidity adds depth through layered transparencies. Zero precipitation leaves expansive breathing room of luminous white space, creating the characteristic Francis balance between explosive color and meditative emptiness.
