spirits of barking squirrel(s) descending

very few things in life eclipse a mid-evening snowshoe jaunt thru meteorologist’s UNDER-predicted fallen snow. (aka *LOVE* when Lou McNally says 2-4″ and it just keeps on fluffin’ up to just under 10″…)

The evening hike thru Deering Oaks Park in Portland (originally drafted by William A. Goodwin and later adapted byFrederick Law Olmstead‘s firm – a seeming mini-prototype of Central Park in NYC) was truly magical – even my inner parking genie (super power) totally delivered – despite the area being prime for parking ban overflow.

I am told that the well preserved period building in this image used to house a restaurant called the barking squirrel.

can you find the negative space(s) in this picture?

Several weeks ago I was invited to present to several upper school art classes at Waynflete School. They were studying negative space and the objective was to present logos that utilized negative space in their design. A couple of days ago I received the coolest assortment of thank you notes – many shaped on individual scaled-up strips of paper – as if from giant fortune cookies! Thank YOU 9th graders for the very tasty verbal treats and for a very positive negative space experience 😉
