The Gods Come to Temecula Art Reception

Posted by: Richard Stergulz

Quaint Old Town Temecula is becoming a destination for art, music and fine dining. Coming in July, one downtown event will provide patrons with a little of all three.

\\\'The Gods come to Temecula’ reception is scheduled for July 12 from 4-7 at Parea in Old Town, and will feature the works by award winning and internationally known artist, Richard Stergulz.

These Greek god and goddess paintings are each 2 foot by 4 foot and command attention with their dramatic lighting and subtle background details. These powerful interpretations bring to life the stories of Greek myth passed down through the ages.

The perfect setting for these and other of Richard’s works is the newly opened Parea restaurant. Owner and Chef Antoine Marengo says, “Our philosophy is simple. Cooking must be rooted in tradition—fresh, real and delicious—created with passion.”
Parea is a destination that embraces the ‘new’ Old Town dining experience. Eateries are achieving levels of uncompromising food preparation in an area that previously played to the lowest common denominator.
“Parea focuses on local residents and visitors who want to enjoy a good meal in a comfortable and friendly atmosphere. Special attention is given to the sophisticated Temecula residents who prefer attentive services and uncompromised food quality. It is our duty to deliver on their expectations.” –Antoine Marengo.
Richard Stergulz is one of the best figurative painters in Southern California. He attended the American Academy of Art in Chicago and has successful illustration and fine art careers. Rich\\\'s paintings have won numerous awards from Best of Show to People\\\'s Choice. He recently was the featured artist at the Ballast Point Gallery in San Diego as well as being a judge for the San Diego County Fair Art Show.
