After battling with the city of Mount Dora for more than a
year and being fined more than $10,000 for being in violation of the local sign
ordinance, the ordeal is now over and this home will continue to display the
“Starry Night” theme created by Richard Barrenechea.
Nancy Nemhauser and Lubmomir Jastrzebski originally
commissioned a local artist to turn the masonry wall in front of their home
into a work of art which was enjoyed by their autistic son. They were then told
by city officials that the masonry wall had to match the house, so the "Starry
Night" theme was expanded.

♫ But I could have told you Vincent
This world was never meant for
One as beautiful as you. ♫
(From
“Vincent” as written by Don Mclean, Enrico Nascimbeni and Roberto Vecchioni)

If I could own only one masterpiece, “Starry Night” would be
my choice.
