Rockfish PO; An Oil

Image
Many times I cross these tracks to see what the postmaster has done to her little PO out near the tracks. The tracks go all the way down to Orlando Florida where the train stops and goes through switching cars. I always wonder what this PO looked like in its heyday with the 3,000 or so residents who worked the soapstone quarry. For now it doesn't see much usefulness other than its quaint beauty and oddity. This is the oil I did of it with a visitor from Germany of all places who stopped in for a look. He was taken with it, and had a look around and through the windows. He was a hiker and he asked what lay beyond. I let him know about Schuyler and the Waltons. He had no idea what I was talking about but decided to take the six mile hike to the home of 'John-boy' just the same. The oil is small in size. Perhaps 14 inches by 22 inches, but it holds up.
