Over the Coral Sea northeast of Australia, warm tropical air carries high humidity and gentle precipitation across open waters. The moderate easterly wind at 7.1 m/s and relatively low pressure of 1009.7 hPa create conditions for scattered color bursts that pool toward the canvas edges, while the high humidity and warm anomaly drive saturated blues and greens reminiscent of tropical waters. Following Sam Francis's approach, I've let the wind energy push explosive splatters of ultramarine and viridian outward from multiple centers, with cadmium yellow accents catching the light, while preserving luminous white breathing space that suggests the vast oceanic expanse.
