...what did he paint during those final years? One last great painting, of a terminally bored barmaid surrounded by a maze of mirror reflections, A Bar at the Folies Bergere. And flowers: many of them exquisite little watercolors (a briar rose, a snail on a leaf) done with rapid, sketchy delicacy, with notes to their recipients, mainly his women friends, written on the same page. Nothing indicates how he was suffering. His love of life and of style was too strong. In their sweet, private brevity, these tiny notes combining script and image are among the most "Japanese" images...
Your item on our family corn maze [TREND ALERT, March 5] incorrectly stated that we created the maze to "save the family farm." I am proud to say that it didn't need "saving," owing to the fact that for the past 50 years my parents and grandparents have, through wise management and hard work, been able to create and maintain a productive working dairy farm.

"I've got orders for 100 this year alone," he says. He devises the pattern for a five- or six-acre maze on a computer, plants corn that grows more than 6 ft. tall, then uses a herbicide to form the twists and turns of the design. Weather permitting, of course. A bad season can thwart plans and turn the maze into a bust...
