Things to Come, Part 1

I haven't posted in awhile. Someone gave me a great idea tonight to post pieces of pieces I'm working on. I'll post the full picture when it's completed.

Delicate Arch If you scroll down further, you'll see the first Arch I did. Recently, the earlier piece was purchased by a colleague of mine. This image is just a portion of the whole picture. When it is finalized and released, I'll post the whole thing. Delicate Arch is an icon of Utah, and is even portrayed on the license plate. I was surprised to see it wasn't on the Utah quater. This one took about 20 hours to this point, and I've been obsessing about it for about a week. I made my two great roommates sit on the floor and look at it with me for awhile. I think they were just humoring me. I've had a lot of pent up energy lately, and I've been running and ripping paper like a mad woman to let out some steam. So, you'll see there is a lot of movement and energy in the entire picture, which is 22 inches by 28 inches. In the background you'll see the blue La Sal Mountains east of Moab, Utah among layered landdscape of Arches National Park. If you've had the chance to hike up to the Arch, you know you can touch it, get your picture taken under it, and try not to fall into the vast hole behind it. I'm looking forward to another trip to Arches this spring. I plan on hiking through the entire north portion of the park where the larger formations can be found.
