"Annunciation", Fra Angelico, fresco in the convent of San Marco, Florence. Over my painting years this piece has had a great effect on me. The two paintings below from 2009 and 1999 are examples. The theme of two figures and the space, distance, between them is not only spiritual but about general life relationships. The light that eminates in between is one of great moments in art.  The connection between Fra Angelico and Morandi is something I always liked. The distance between two objects or two people
