My first impression of “The Thorn” was that is was a “modern” interpretation of the holy family. I could see Joseph and Mary bending over the bundled Jesus. It was a very touching scene. Still, knowing there is a thorn in her finger does not diminish the result.
Sigh… I love the “Admiring Glances” and “The Sailing Signal Gun”. Why don’t they make art like this anymore!!
Why don’t they make men like this anymore? Ha! Ha!
LOL!
