In addition to painting three (or four or five depending on what you consider a single mural) post office murals, William C. Palmer was a supervisor of the WPA’s mural division in New York. He studied under some of the most well-known American artists of his time, including Thomas Hart Benton. His work can be see at The Met, the Whitney, the Smithsonian, and other museums.

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.
