Confident Black Woman Cycling: An Oil Portrait on a Bicycle

An oil painting of a confident Black woman riding a vintage bicycle along a sunlit city street. She wears a tailored emerald-green coat and black ankle boots, her natural hair styled in a short, bouncy afro. She gazes forward with poise and a subtle smile. Thick impasto brushstrokes, warm golden-hour light, and dramatic chiaroscuro sculpt her features and the bicycle. The bicycle is a classic steel road cruiser with curved handlebars. The background is softly blurred with hints of storefronts and streetlamps, in a rich palette of browns, golds, greens, and blues. The texture feels like oil on canvas, conveying motion, strength, and empowerment.
