MORE SUNSHINE

This morning I decided to sit on the couch, watch True Grit.. the original version with John Wayne, and stitch

up my insert for this art piece I did yesterday.  I used some old white fabric that is wonderfully quilted, probably from an old mattress cover.  I liked the soft homey look to the fabric.  I lightly penciled the words in,

changing House to Home because it just is more, well, HOMEY!  than house.  I also added more

linoleum art to put a sun over the words.  I really, really am pleased with the outcome.  It just is a happy

piece of art. 

And I was so happy to watch the old John Wayne True Grit.  We went to see the new version last night.

I wasn't impressed, I am sorry to say.  I have always liked Jeff Bridges but for me, he just didn't cut it

for this movie.  For one thing, I had a hard time understanding his drawl.. he mumbled and often I couldn't understand exactly what he was saying.  I liked Hailee Stanfield protrayal as Mattie about as equally well as I liked Kim Darby.  Matt Damon was better than Glen Campbell, that goes without saying.  But the new version overall, no.  Filmed in Texas, not Colorado like the original version, so I am probably biased.  Though anyone

would like the scenery in the original I would think! 

I am still a TRUE fan of John Wayne.  Always will be.
