Picture you and the Duke side
by side
LUBBOCK,
Texas (AP) -- You, too, can stand shoulder to shoulder with the
Duke.
Pilar Wayne, John Wayne's widow, will paint anyone into oil
scenes of the movie star for a fee. She displayed her work Thursday
as the National Cowboy Symposium honored her late husband with a
Lifetime Achievement Award.
Mrs. Wayne has immortalized the actor in scores of oil
paintings since his 1979 death. An original portrait of Wayne costs
about $250,000.
"Last spring was my fifth year to show my exhibit in
Paris," Mrs. Wayne said. "They really love him over there.
Everyone loves the Duke."
