Painting Double Arch and Double arch Dawn

We got up well before dawn and drove to Arches National Park and hiked up to Double Arch.  I wanted to be in position to photograph the sun rise hitting Double Arch.  setting up my tripod and focusing in on the arch Iin the rapidly increasing light, I noticed through my camera's viewfinder what looked like something moving in the arch.  I zoomed in to see a guy in white shorts and suspenders, no shirt, climbing up through the arch.  At least that's what I thought he was doing at the time.He was bent over, rear end facing my camera right in the middle of the arch.  I waited a few minutes and still, he didn't move.  So I moved my camera to a different spot to try to get him out of my shot or at least in a less obvious position.  When I moved, he moved keeping his butt in the frame.  This went on for 15-20 minutes so there was absolutely no question, this jerk was mooning my camera goofing up my shot. I almost painted this idiot into my painting..."wildlife", right?

The original version entitled Double Arch (below) took 462+ hours to paint in 2005. In 2007, I decided to revise the piece and did an additional 150+- hours to get the new Double Arch Dawn version.
