When the Post Mistress left on her lunch break, the door and shutters were closed. She was off to feed her two young boys. Until then, a steady stream of villagers came and went through the main entry, often glancing over their shoulder. It was the Post Mistress, however, who came out to chat in between her visitors, and to share in delightful conversation.
Red shutters and a blue wire mesh lounger, flower boxes and the prominent number “8” …these design elements were the initial attraction for this painting. As the morning waned, and the sun rose in the sky, the canopy of trees provided much needed shade.
