Confident White Man at the Marina: Oil Portrait

An oil painting of a confident White man at a marina. He stands in a tailored navy blazer over a crisp white shirt, three-quarter pose, hands on hips, chin tilted slightly upward with a self-assured smile. The backdrop features a busy harbor with sailboats, masts, and wooden docks, water glistening with golden-hour reflections. Use thick, expressive brushstrokes and rich texture (impasto) to convey the figure, with crisp detail on his face and a softer, atmospheric background. Color palette of deep blues, sea greens, warm ochre, and ivory. Lighting from the left casts warm highlights and soft shadows, lending a cinematic mood reminiscent of 19th–20th century European realism or modern impressionism.
