Mystery Bridge x4 – Which one do you like best?

I’ve been doing small paintings that take 3-4 hours lately that help me decide what I might want to paint larger. They also help me work on my skills without pressuring myself to make something that I’ll sell, and I can do a new one every day if I want.

For these four, I used varied colors and surfaces as well. I know which one I like best, but some feedback would be interesting.

This is another one of those places where a human figure would really help show the scale of this bridge. If I paint this again I’m going to add one.

I stumbled onto this spot sometime in the early 2000s and it has no official name, so I call it Mystery Bridge. Even back then I could see that other people had been there recently so maybe there are some other names for it out there.

If I had to guess someone else who knows where this is, my first guess would be you Randy @randydeanmason

I learned after posting this that it is “officially” known as Belt Buckle Arch, but there’s no indication of the “official” that named it. See UtahArches.com which unbelievably doesn’t use SSL encryption. But don’t worry, it’s safe to go visit.
