Artist has been badly treated

Re your report, "Dad's art of no appeal to Mosman" (POST, 8/3), I was utterly disgusted by the attitude of Mosman Park council, which has refused Francis Farquharson's application to sell paintings from his home to invited guests.

What this council has done is small-minded and unfeeling, particularly when you consider Mr Farquharson's neighbours did not object and a state government agency had offered to provide public liability insurance, if required.

People hold garage sales every week - are these going to be banned next?

Mr Farquharson should be given support, not denied the opportunity of sharing his talent with people who are interested in art.
