“Boyhood” - A Texas based film 11 years in the making! Boyhood is a new American epic coming-of-age drama film written and directed by Richard Linklater and starring Patricia Arquette, Ellar Coltrane, Lorelei Linklater and Ethan Hawk. Shot intermittently over an eleven-year period from May 2002 to October 2013 as the young star (Coltrane) grew from childhood to adulthood. Shot entirely throughout the state Texas, Boyhood is a unique collaboration that gives viewers front row seats to the young life of Mason Evans, Jr. The story begins in 2002 as we follow six-year-old Mason, his older sister Samantha, and their single mother Olivia moving to Houston so their mother can attend the University of Houston. The children’s father, Mason

Sr. (Ethan Hawke) lives in Alaska and soon comes to visit the children. In 2005 we see Olivia taking Mason to meet her new professor whom she soon marries and blends their families. Bill becomes abusive as alcoholism takes over his life and has a strict parenting style. Both children endure hard times and uncomfortable situations as they try to make it with a “blended” family. In 2008, while campaigning for Barack Obama, Mason Sr. learns of Samantha’s new boyfriend and talks to both her, and Mason, about contraceptives. He and Mason go camping at Pedernales Falls State Park and solidify their relationship. Soon,

Olivia, Mason and Samantha grow into their new lives in San Marcos. Olivia teaches psychology at college and marries a student, Jim, a veteran of the Afghanistan/Iraq War. Mason begins using drugs and alcohol while receiving attention from girls. Mason Sr. also remarries and has a new child. Young Mason visits his new step-mother’s parents and receives some unusual gifts for his fifteenth birthday. Later, Mason attends a party and meets Sheena, who becomes his girlfriend. In 2012, Mason and Sheena visit Samantha at the University of Texas at Austin, where they are caught in bed together by Samantha’s roommate. During Mason’s senior year in high school, he has a painful breakup with Sheena, but also wins a state photography contest and is awarded a college scholarship

to Sul Ross State University. His father gives him relationship advice, and his mother, Olivia, soon breaks down realizing she has nothing now that her children have grown up and leaving her… realizing her mistakes as a mother and the consequences of her own failed relationships. Boyhood is a break-through film in every sense, and gives viewers a scenic backdrop of our beautiful state of Texas. The film premiered at the 2014 Sundance Film Festival and was declared a landmark by many notable film critics, with particular praise for its direction, acting, and scope. FUN FACT: Ethan Hawke was born in Austin,Texas - the only son of a teenage couple. He rose to fame in 1989’s Dead Poet’s Society, playing the shy and cringing Todd Anderson. Jimmy Sorrells

Granbury James Haddock

After a 44 year career in education as a teacher and counselor, James Haddock seemed to just unleash a passion for art. He has learned much from observing nature while living on and improving a five acre wooded lot. So it was natural that the textures and colors of nature would appear in Jame’s paintings. The spring and fall colors of North Texas can be seen in his paintings. James last position in education was as a counselor with kindergarten children. “I used play and art in working with this age group,” said James. “They taught me a valuable lesson that even adults should play.” That is exactly what art is for James – play.

In creating his paintings, it is a process of building up layers of texture and many layers of paint. Thus, all papers and objects are encased in medium. The layers of paint create brilliant colors much like those seen in the seasons of spring and fall. James said the textures and brilliant colors thrill and keep him painting day after day. Be sure to visit Your Private Collection Art Gallery on the Granbury Historic Square to see his art.

Weatherford - Vonnie Kohn

s the daughter of a Creek Path Cherokee saddle maker in the historical area of Fort Worth, her background provided the interest in western genre for many of her paintings. Extensive travel has brought diversity to her subject matter which also includes Native American, wildlife, still life, and portraiture. Reflected in her creative process is the theme of “the enduring spirit,” the delicate balance in the relationship between man and his environment.

James Haddock www.jameshaddockart.blogspot.com www.jameshaddock.com jhaddockart@jameshaddock.com Your Private Collection Art Gallery 106 N Houston St, Granbury, TX 76048 817-579-7733

James mixed media art is experimental art. He normally does not have a preconceived idea about the art piece when he starts, which is so exciting because the outcome is always surprising. When James begins with a specific idea, the result often surprises him, thus each finished piece is a unique, one-of-a-kind, and never can be duplicated. 6 - My Hometowns Texas Cultural & Entertainment Magazine

In 1975, Robyn began his professional career traveling the “road” and performing at Nashville’s largest and most popular night clubs. He became the featured headliner at not only his father’s club, Faron Young’s Jailhouse, but also the main attraction at George Jones’ Possum Holler. In the early 80’s Robyn toured almost exclusively with his Dad, opening shows for him all over the U.S. and Canada. Over the years Robyn has appeared on numerous TV shows, such as, Larry’s Country Diner and Country’s Family Reunion, Ralph Emery’s Nashville Now, The Tommy Hunter Show (Canada), Crook and Chase, Bill Anderson’s Backstage At the Opry, and the radio and televised versions of The Grand Old Opry itself (Just to name a few). In addition Robyn has performed all over the U.S. with some of the biggest country stars of all times, such as: Willie Nelson, George Jones, Conway Twitty, Jim Ed Brown, Bill Anderson, Johnny Paycheck, Tammy Wynette, Connie Smith, Marty Robbins, Roy Clark, The Bellamy Brothers, and the list just goes on and on.

ROBYN YOUNG Robyn was born and raised in Nashville, Tennessee into a legacy of Country Music, the son of “The Singing Sheriff” Faron Young, and the great, great, grandson of Uncle Dave Macon (the 1st star of The Grand Ole Opry).

One of Robyn’s proudest moments was leading the campaign to see his father, Faron receive his welldeserved, and overdue place in the Country Music Hall of Fame. Thanks to a “media blitz” by Robyn and the help of a few good friends, such as Brenda Lee and Merle Kilgore, the goal was achieved in 2000 when Faron Young was finally recognized and inducted into the Country Music Hall of Fame. That’s where he joined Robyn’s great, great, Grandfather Uncle Dave Macon. And, believe it or not, while Robyn’s dad, Faron Young was known to many as “The Singing’ Sheriff”, Robyn actually was a real Deputy Sheriff serving for almost 25 years in Nashville, Tennessee’s Davidson County Sheriff’s office while accomplishing all of this. As a songwriter and artist, Robyn has written over 100 songs, some of which are featured on his album, “Written Reflection”, which was released in 2001. Over the years Robyn has released several singles. Robyn’s latest CD is “Like Father, Like Son - a Remembrance”, which features 12 of his father’s greatest hits.
