Early in 1969 I was commissioned to paint a mural for Ben and Judy Nysewander, for their home in Dover Shores, Newport Beach, California.  A sketch on the back of a napkin began this unusual piece, and it was finished in 90 days

”Today, Yesterday’s Tomorrow” consists of 132 sq. ft, oil on canvas over wood, flush mounted to the wall – with two moving panels (doors).  The idea was generated by a phrase from Paul Valery:

“Man lives and moves in what he sees – but he sees only what he dreams.”
