As a non-native Illinoisan, the Daley family mystique is a bit lost on me. It becomes readily apparent, however, that the politically accomplished men overshadow the women of the family, who tend toward the obscurity of private life rather than the limelight of public service.

When it comes to art I enjoy a lot of stuff going on at once. So I like this oil and wax painting.
The black-and-white figure of a woman -- meditating? in anguish? -- dominates the center of the canvas, floating in front of a layered background of colorful and stylistically varied angels. There’s a little tableaux at the right where two figures interact, one of them oblivious to the fact that she’s dripping blood or red paint. The drips stream like tears down one of the faces anchoring the artwork at the bottom, receding into the background, eyes closed -- in sleep? sorrow?
