Oh, Beulah Bettersworth. What a world you lived in. So lucky you were to have your art in a show featuring the art of artists’ wives. The art of artist’s wives. < insert choice words here >

Beulah and her husband lived on storied Christopher Street in New York’s Greenwich Village. Her most famous painting depicts a portion of the street.

Bettersworth, artist’s wife that she was, made two post office murals: Out of Soil (Columbus, Mississippi) and White Gold in the Delta (Indianola, Mississippi).

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.
