But he helps with lots of things. Keeping birds out of the vineyard, bringing me random things and most importantly, keeping me company! Man’s best friend, no doubt.

Mr Dick Johnson

ABOUT THE BLUE COYOTE Beginning in the early 1960s, and for over 30 years of his working life, R.D. Johnsoncontinuously traveled the back roads of rural America. There he witnessed the decline ofthe railroads and the demise of scores of small town stores. Interstate highways andregional shopping malls were developing rapidly, leaving the small communities isolatedand forgotten.During his travels, Mr. Johnson recorded hundreds of images, mostly of subjectsotherwise ignored. Many would soon disappear forever. As he made his way through thecountryside, he often felt like the lone coyote, sharing spare with the communities hevisited, but seldom was seen.Now you can experience these surreal images and memories through the eyes of the BlueCoyote. His specialty is nondigital multi-shade enhanced photo-based prints

TERRY ANDERSON – BIO

I discovered my love for art while taking a class in high scool.  I remember starting out sketching portraits of pets and people and covering an entire wall in my bedroom.  While I really wanted to pursue the arts, I started working and remained behind a desk for 33 years.  During that time, I would sketch portraits for friends, but nothing serious.

I moved from Toledo, Ohio to San Diego in 1982.  My love for photography proved to be a catalyst in getting back into painting and drawing.  I attended USCD and earned a certificate in Marketing Management in 1989.  I married my husband, John, in 1994 and we currently live in Rancho Bernardo.  I retired from the “desk job” in 2000 and remember getting an easel and paints for Christmas.  That was all I needed to get going.

I soon began studying art and taking classes, working to develop my portfolio.  I consider myself a realist and I enjoy experimenting with different styles and mediums as I go along.   These include watercolor, acrylic, aqua-oils, oil pastels and scratchboard art.  I especially enjoy painting ocean scenes, palm trees or anything Hawaiian.  I still consider myself a “work in progress.”

More recently, I have been painting abstracts in oil and acrylic.  Several years ago, I teamed up with fellow artist, Marlene Levitt, to create Temáre abstracts.  Most often an artist’s signature style is created by one individual; however, Temáre is an unusual exception. We paint together on one canvas in a style that is completely removed from our individual bodies of work.

You can often find my artwork on display locally, or visit my websites anytime.  I am available for consultations for office art décor and have the capability of manipulating color and size on almost any painting to produce a custom Giclée print.  Also, I’ve been doing photographs on canvas which is a very contemporary way to decorate.  Check out the botanicals online to get an idea of what is available in that medium.

I enjoy sharing my artwork with my family and friends, and I am blessed to be able to pursue my passion.  To quote Van Gogh,  “ I am still far from being what I want to be, but with God’s help I shall succeed.”

ACENETH RENGIFO

I was born in Colombia where I went to school and received my teaching degree. I spent several years teaching Biology and Art to Jr. High School students in Colombia.

I took several Art classes from the University and really enjoyed them. Painting has been my passion and joy.

I came to the United States for vacation and stayed to work at several companies in the biotechnology field in the San Diego area. I have been taking some art classes at Palomar College and individual lesson’s from professional artists.  Oil is my medium of choice but I’m experimenting with acrylics, collage, and different techniques that I am trying to incorporate in my paintings. I prefer to work on large size paintings; I have done murals for children’s rooms.

I am a member of the Rancho Bernardo Art Association and I have been with the Escondido Art Association, Del Mar Gallery and The Coal Gallery in Carlsbad.

If you would like to view my painting inventory please contact me at 760.877.2765 or acenethr@gmail.com

I just love progress… It’s been just under 90 years since my grandfather took over the winery operations here at Bernardo, and I dont think, even considering the business man that he was, could have imagined the progress we’ve had in recent history.

Very few art forms take as much time as wine does. I play music, and it might take decades to perfect your technique, style and interpretation, but it ultimately is culminated into single moments of expression… the song just kinda flies by, and if you don’t act at the right time with the right input, you’re toast. A musician might practice and practice and practice and then when the gig hits, he’ll blow it. I’ve been there. Wine, however, is expanded so much so, that even now, 10,000plus years since the inception of wine, and we still haven’
t perfected the technique. This time factor brings us to one focus this year. Start the clock over, now. Make sure we have the right equipment and know-how to get this passion from mind and plant to bottle and glass.

We have recently obtained some new stainless tanks and beautiful American Oak barrels… and since one should require the nicest garage for ones Ferrari, we are moving to complete our newly upgraded wine making and storage building. Ah! So exciting. The future, as well as the futures, look bright… or should I say a nice semi-opaque burgundy.

Cheers folk, Ross
