Dear Sir,
While relieved to have put behind us as settled in our client’s favor his claim to the disputed 50 square foot plot now fenced for clearer identification, including appurtenant easement rights of access across your property, we remain vexed by the continued presence unabated of the Douglas fir tree shown in the attached exhibit which clearly blocks, impedes and disturbs our client’s peaceful and rightful views to the East. Please remove this nuisance immediately, failing which we shall seek injunctive relief as soon as the courts reopen.
With wishes of the season,
J. Minton Farley, Attorney at Law
The Painting
It’s a canvas depicting sky and snow-covered ground merged into each other by broad swaths of non-colour. A winter’s whiteout — the quiet of snow — an absence of visual stimuli. A landscape to be entered, sensed, rather than seen. A place to leave footprints.
There, perched on a subtle horizon, the viewer’s gaze is forced off-centre by a single, dark, brush stroke, possibly an old tree snag, diseased, teetering, broken at its mid-length. Unmissable, attention-grabbing.
It’s a singular swipe that might be anything, but against the uni-coloured backdrop, it cannot be ignored.
The artist’s title hints at his intention: “Democracy Today.”
