Maiden Voyage 2006

"Maiden Voyage" is a 2006 painting by American artist Bo Bartlett. The work depicts a woman seated near a window, gazing out at a ship leaving port. The scene is rendered in Bartlett's signature realistic style, with meticulous attention to detail. The woman's bright yellow scarf and the red card she holds create a striking contrast against the muted tones of the surrounding environment. The ship, a symbol of departure and adventure, is seen receding into the distance, perhaps suggesting the woman's own journey of transition or personal growth.
