Cliffside Centaur at Dusk: An Impasto Vision

An imposing centaur stands on the jagged edge of a sea cliff at dusk. An oil painting with thick impasto brushstrokes, dramatic chiaroscuro, and richly textured fur and muscles. The wind tosses the centaur's mane and tail as he surveys a stormy horizon over a crashing sea. The cliff is craggy and weathered, with sea spray curling in the air. The sky is a dramatic tapestry of purples, golds, and steel-gray clouds, with a pale sun breaking through near the horizon. The centaur carries a bow on his back, wearing a simple leather bracer, and the mood is epic, solitary, and mythic, blending classical myth with painterly realism.
