"Young Life"-Bo Bartlett

-Make three claims about this painting and provide facts to support them.
1. The family has shot the deer. Fact: The older male has a gun and the deer is slung over the truck.
2. The two older people have had the child together but are not married. Fact: They are acting as if they are very affectionate, but she isn't wearing a ring.
3. There used to be trees all over the area, but they were cut down. Fact: There are many tree stumps around.

Paragraph: The two older figures in Bo Bartlett's "Young Life" are not married, but they had the child together. This is indicated by the lack of a wedding band on the left hand of the young woman, which is placed on the man's stomach. Their relationship with the boy is distant, indicated by his placement in the picture, but he nonetheless came on the hunting trip with them. He is also mimicking his father, who is holding a gun, in holding his stick-he is imitating both his stance and his facial expression.
