John von Wicht was a German immigrant and abstract expressionist. He was also a post office muralist. He painted one post office mural. It was called Logging and it was in the Brewton, Alabama post office. Unfortunately, no one knows the fate of the painting. It was most likely painted over. There is a replica. As there are no known color photos of the original in existence, the colors are a guess.

COVID Cards
The United States Postal Service has been hit hard by the pandemic. Controlling elements of the Federal Government (the president and Republican Senate) do not want to provide aid to the service. So, it’s up to us. It may seem insignificant, but if we all sent just a few letters a week, we could help ensure that our daily, free mail delivery service continues. For the past (see the card number above) days, I have drawn a card each day and mailed it to someone the next day (none are sent on Sundays; two are sent on Mondays). Please consider mailing cards and letters while we still can for 55 cents (first class letter postage). If the USPS fails, you could find it costs $8 or more to send a letter. And that’s just one of the ways we will all lose if the USPS shuts down.
