Confident Black Woman Teacher in a Classroom - Oil Painting

An oil painting on canvas of a confident Black woman standing at the front of a classroom. She wears a tailored blazer, exuding calm authority as she faces the viewer. The classroom is softly lit by warm sunlight streaming through tall windows, casting dramatic chiaroscuro across desks, chalkboard, and shelves. Rich, textured brushstrokes in deep ambers, ochres, and siennas create a painterly realism. The woman’s expression is composed and empowering, radiating leadership. Subtle details include chalk marks on the board, a gentle glow around her, and the rhythm of classroom life in the blurred background.
