But I do t hink you are right that it would work better if cropped or maybe if yoiu shifted the whole piece southsouth east because the arrow at the moment serves to higlight the empty centre. But I like to know where I will find you whenever I get over to Portland!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06589254083891378425noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4519632209878236029.post-79450540468905267772012-05-02T06:19:40.382-07:002012-05-02T06:19:40.382-07:00Hey... it's a return to the BrownSageBlue colo...Hey... it's a return to the BrownSageBlue color theme!

Yes, I am definitely off your map, but I know this landscape well. The rivers make such a beautiful upward moving chevron in this piece. Fitting, I think, since the rivers are such a prominent feature of our city.Terry Granthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16650965451863656517noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4519632209878236029.post-75795671090093184592012-05-01T16:39:18.640-07:002012-05-01T16:39:18.640-07:00At first glance I thought those grid lines might a...At first glance I thought those grid lines might actually be real streets--if only streets were that straight and easy to follow. I also have to use the mountains to know east/west.

If you were ever to work on this more or do another version, I'd love to see the arrow have even more prominence (by virtue of size, or angle, or even dimensionality?!). I like tongue in cheek.Kristin Lhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05955546754675680404noreply@blogger.com
