Well played. Despite what it said on every single fucking resume I wrote, attention to detail was never my strong suit.

Is that a Barris car? And speaking of which I bet Bonzer5fan has some fond memories of riding around in this one

Virgin Annunciate by Antonello da Messina when seen in person.

Good pick Casa. But then I know you have good taste in art. :love: A little info about this image and why I also like it so much. This is Antonello Da Messina's "Annunciation," the scene where the angel tells Mary she will have a child. What I like about this image it was the first annunciation to depict the scene without the winged angel. No angel , just an interior realization, a pause in her reading...so much better IMHO than the Mona Lisa.

I worked for him and actually lived in his house in Flagstaff for about 6 months. We were building offices in an airplane hangar and also installed a couple art installations . He is an incredible person. Built a replica of Josh Slocum's "Spray" in his backyard when he was 16. Youngest pilot in Arizona. Flew (unknowingly) for Air America in Central America. Conscientious objector (Quaker roots) during Vietnam and was put in prison for telling undercover FBI agents to lie to get out of the war. Could go on and on. He was also quite the story teller.
