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...

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."...
FALLBROOK – A new display of art will be exhibited in the Homework Center at the Fallbrook Public Library beginning in August.

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...
“The Fallbrook Lunch Bunch,” watercolor by Anita L. Ruka of Escondido, is the winner of the People’s Choice award for the Art of the Avocado Art Competition sponsored by Fallbrook Propane Gas Company....

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...
The winners of the third annual Remembering 9/11 Art Competition were announced at a reception for artists and guests at Brandon Gallery Sept. 9.

While this is a new touring production of the famous opera let it be said that this production is visually spectacular. It's hard to believe 32 years have passed since its opening in New York City. "The Phantom of the Opera" stormed Broadway with Michael Crawford in the leading role. It is one of few shows that seem to be bullet proof. Regardless of who plays The Phantom, one is never disappointed with the production. As is again in this case. "The Phantom" in this tour is...
During the dark days of the London blitz in 1941, Noel Coward's office was bombed to the ground. Always wanting to write a ghost story - but not to have anything to with the ongoing war – Mr. Coward left London for Wales where he could find a quiet spot. In less time than most of us need to write a thank you note, he stuck to a strict regimen and churned out the completed work known as "Blithe Spirit" in just six days. It is a charming and eccentric tale about conjuring up p...

Dear Reader, Is it my smug assumption that somewhere along the way, I have become a guide to help you determine how to budget your time and money by offering my learned opinion in respect to the various theatrical productions offered in the San Diego area? Should that be true, here is the hottest tip of the year! Get tickets for this season's finest production to date. "Much Ado About Nothing" is playing only until September 16 at The Old Globe center in Balboa Park at the...
"Barefoot in the Park" is like opening a time capsule. It is the timeless tale of a loving couple settling into married life. Neil Simon penned it early in his career. He captured the vibrancy of the Camelot era; as the Kennedy's settled into the White House, newlyweds Corie and Paul Bratter moved into their fifth-floor walk-up in Greenwich Village. "Barefoot" was only Simon's second play, but it brought him his first big success. It was 1963. Some suggest it is reminiscent...
