At 2 p.m., they all took their easels with t...
Rick Monroe Special to the Village News When Brandon Gallery moved out of Fallbrook three years ago – after a 32-year run – property owners Ron and Crystal Wylie didn't want to see a shuttered business in downtown Fallbrook, especially before the Avocado Festival. In its place, they opened their own gallery, known as 105 n.main. It's also home for many of the family clocks which are for sale. Ron, long-time local architect, also repairs clocks, most commonly grandfather and...

FALLBROOK – Jack Ragland recently ran across a 10 year old painting of his wife, Marilee, that he had started as a demo painting for an art association workshop but never completed. He said he didn't like the original painting very much, so he decided to repaint it, making many changes. Since they had returned from a trip to Italy, he decided to set her in romantic Venice with San Marcos in the background and a gondola approaching from the Grand Canal. This time he posed h...

FALLBROOK – Margaret Singleton O'Leary, a client, student, and friend, recently called Natasha Ragland and said, "Why don't you paint an 'Homage to Music'"? Ragland's first painting in response to this suggestion was a guitar, since her family had one laying around. Then one of her piano students loaned her his trumpet to use in a still life. She found the shiny complex trumpet an interesting challenge to combine with other textures and colors. The trumpet has many symbolic c... Full story

Gamini Ratnavira with Lisa A. Ratnavira At the age of 19, I became a self-taught wildlife artist in my native country of Sri Lanka. I was inspired by the beautiful rainforest country I grew up in and wanted to share the beauty and wonder of nature with those around me. I was fortunate to have raised a baby elephant named Maya, enjoyed my father Sardha's pet leopard and macaw, and a litany of wildlife around our home. At one of my first art shows in 1979, President JR Jayewarde... Full story

FALLBROOK – Café Des Artistes announced an upcoming artist reception and exhibition for lifelong Fallbrook painter Brett Stokes. Stokes' new work departs from native themes and landscape imagery to focus primarily on abstract expressionism done in acrylics. "My newer work is to be viewed as using less defined images to illicit a response. A line or colors can be just as powerful as objective or realism," Stokes said. The reception is July 20, from 4-8 p.m., at Café Des Art...
San Diego Repertory has a hot musical running until the 25th of August called "33 1/3 House of Dreams." It's rock and roll at its very best and performed primarily by students. Gold Star Recording Studio was successful for 33 1/3 years. A long run for any business. With over 100 Top 40 hits between 1950 and 1984, partners Stan Ross as the chief engineer and Dave Gold lived and breathed their work and made their dreams come true. A part of that success was the "Wall of Sound."... Full story

Quite often it can take a bit of tweaking to get something just right. And this time New Village Arts did! In his third directorial effort, A.J. Knox has a hit on his hands! "Little Shop of Horrors" is a visual delight as well as a musical triumph. As a matter of fact, many of the senses come to life in this show – even taste. (One must take into account when Audrey II begs Seymour to "feed me, feed me.") Whimsical and charming, in a kitschy, quirky way, set designer Doug C... Full story

Inglis Carre', M.F.A. Special to the Village News I spend extra time standing in front of Matisse's "Woman With A Hat" every time I go the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art. I study her big dark eyes which looked on as Modern Art took its first awkward steps, and I wonder if she had any idea of the cataclysmic effect that would be produced by her debut showing in 1905 in Paris. When Gertrude Stein and her brother, Leo, first came to Paris from California, they strolled into...
