In the painting "Young Life" by Bo Bartlett, the child aspires to be just like his father. The father is holding a long gun to his side. The child, who is placed to the right of the couple, is holding a large stick. The boy has positioned the stick to resemble the way in which his father is holding his gun. This syncretism shows that they boy would like to be like his father. Syncretism between the man and child is also apparent in their clothing. The man is wearing an orange hat, and the boy is wearing a similarly colored shirt. Between their similarities in position and clothing, Bo Bartlett shows that the boy wants to be just like his father.
