Angel,' (1887) is both a portrait of Abbott Handerson Thayer's 11 year old daughter Mary and an allegory of hope and spirituality. Thayer scraped the paint with backs of brushes, scrapers, his fingers, and a paint tube to achieve the depth in the wings.

In the "Wild Swans" the youngest prince doesn't receive his nettle shirt in time. So his left arm remains a swan wing forever. A reminder that sometimes we can't just go back to who we used to be. We have to go forward, changed by everything that touched us.

The number of confirmed #measles cases in the US this year — an unknown fraction of the true total — has hit 800, per #CDC, making this the 2nd worst year for measles since the virus was eliminated in 2000. And the year is young.
The count in Texas is just under 600. www.cdc.gov/measles/data...
