So Far 1996

Bo Bartlett's "So Far" (1996) depicts two figures standing on the edge of a body of water, with a fire burning in the background. The figures are reflected in the water, creating a sense of duality and the passage of time. The painting's title suggests a sense of distance and separation, perhaps between the figures or between the past and the present. The use of realistic detail and the contemplative mood of the work are characteristic of Bartlett's style, which often explores themes of memory, identity, and the human condition.
