Vashon Ferry 2005

"Vashon Ferry" (2005) by Bo Bartlett is a realistic painting of a young woman standing in front of the water, likely a ferry terminal. The woman’s eyes are closed, and she is seemingly lost in thought, her face obscured by the shadow of her collar. The somber palette of the painting, featuring blues and yellows, contributes to the introspective mood. Bartlett's work often explores themes of memory and nostalgia, perhaps evident in the woman's wistful expression. The title suggests a connection to the Puget Sound region of Washington, where Bartlett is based.
