Confident Black Man in an Oil Painting at a Brewery

An oil painting portrait of a confident Black man standing at a craft brewery. Thick impasto brushstrokes, warm amber lighting, and dramatic chiaroscuro. The subject is in three-quarter view, wearing a tailored charcoal jacket with a crisp shirt, emanating calm authority. He rests one hand on a polished wooden counter in front of copper brewing kettles and a row of gleaming taps. Steam swirls in the background; beer glassware catches the light. Rich textures of wood, metal, and glass, with ochre, burnt umber, gold, and deep greens in a painterly palette. The scene blends realism with expressive brushwork to convey pride, dignity, and the vibrant energy of a modern craft brewery.
