Living History at the Whaley House!![]() Artist and musician Chris Ownby in 19th century clothing. The Theatre at the Whaley House is getting a new "old" look! Celebrated Old Town banjoist Chris Ownby will be painting a 19th century stage backdrop for San Diego's oldest professional theatre, a scenic landscape, such as was documented on period stages. Wearing 19th century clothing, he will use traditional painting methods, first blocking in the painting using raw umber and white, and then adding the color in a glaze on top of this "underpainting." Some of the artists, whose work he will be using as influences, are American Thomas Cole (1801-1848), British Thomas Gainsborough (1727-1788), French artists Jean-Honor'e Fragonard (1732-1806) and Jean-Baptiste-Camille Corot (1796-1875).
