Golden Hour Portrait at the Farmers Market

An oil painting of a young Black woman at a bustling farmers market. Golden-hour sunlight filters through striped awnings, casting warm highlights on her skin and the vibrant produce around her. She stands beside a stall piled with tomatoes, peppers, berries, basil, and sunflowers. She wears a light sundress with a denim jacket draped over one shoulder, and a calm, thoughtful expression as she brushes a strand of hair from her temple. Thick impasto brushwork renders texture in skin, fabric, and vegetables, with visible bold strokes and subtle glaze. The background blurs slightly in an impressionistic manner, hinting at shoppers, chalkboard signs, and crates of fresh goods. Color palette rich with ochre, emerald, ruby, and cobalt shadows, giving the scene a painterly, intimate mood that celebrates everyday life in a style reminiscent of late 19th–early 20th century realism with modern vibrancy.
