Aging Muse
An intimate, realistic oil-painted portrait of an elderly Black man in a blue polo shirt, seen from a cinematic 3/4 angle. His expressive, tired eyes and softly swept-back graying locs are rendered with rich painterly strokes. Warm golden side lighting produces deep shadows and highlights, set against a dark, neutral background. Focus on subtle textures and a shallow depth of field for a deeply personal, detailed mood.
