My research says the dog’s name is Snooper. He was one of many Clark Gable owned during his lifetime.
The car is a 1936 Dusenberg. It is featured in another photo of Clark Gable below.

Sune Envall (Swedish designer).
The quote below comes from here.     LINK     He is apparently still active in automobile design.
 
Sune Envall is a well-known Swedish designer with passion for motorcycles, cars and vessels. Hezz began his career in Sigvard Bernadotte’s legendary design studio and has also worked with design forzz both Chrysler and Volvo as well as Husqvarna and Thule. Later on, he settled down in Asia where hezz continued his design career with assignments for Toyota Racing. Sune’s passion for motor vehicleszz together with his fantastic sense of illustration and design make his works completely unique, andzz they are guaranteed to attract attention in your home. His artwork goes perfectly as prints and posterszz as well as when they get the honor of decorating an entire wall!.”

How did all those z’s get in there?

Is it like in “The Fly”… when you transported the quote, a bee flew in, and got pasted in with it?

“z” is not often seen as a double letter so I use zz as a formatting cue for Word programming when I’m trying to follow as closely as possible the formatting of the caption I’m copying (if I have to use “frazzled” / or the like / I switch to qq) .
It is a lot faster to type zz at the end of the line and then use the “Replace” function to change them to <p> all at once.
It was 02:17 hrs. E.D.T. when I first posted the above, and I noticed an error I had made. I made another one when I corrected that one using the “raw” version still containing the z’s and not noticing that.
 

The caption with the proper line breaks. The odd breaks here are due to WordPress.

Oh, Cleo, you made me laugh out loud with that one. We have a book club here, but I never care about the books they are reading, so I haven’t been. I like to just read and enjoy a book and not tear it apart.

Or especially hear it torn apart by people who don’t get it, and/or can’t follow a sentence.

My first and only book club meeting taught me never to go to a second one.

Not to be confused with “Déjà Moo” the feeling you get when you’re in a meeting with a manager at work and you realise that you’ve heard all this bulls### before…… 😉

Or DeJava. That’s the feeling, as you put sugar in your coffee, that you’ve already put sugar in your coffee.

Or “deja boo“… you can’t scare me again with that same stupid mask.

“Deja blue” … it doesn’t matter if this blouse gets another stain… I already washed it with my blue sweater.

Or “deja poo“… the dog is begging to go out, but you know it’s just to chase a squirrel, cos she already did her business.

“Deja two” … no thanks, I already have a prom date?

OK, OK… I’ll stop.

But it’s kinda fun.

I mean for me, not for you guys having to hear it.

@ —comment image    nighthawks

I’ve found the inspirations for two subjects of your pastels ! ! !

 

The courthouse and the post office.

You even caught the statue of James Whitcomb Riley in proportion.

They have modified the windows a bit and painted it a bilious green since your pastel works.

I thought it might be, but the trees have grown, and your rendering of the fog did what fog does; obscured the view.

Although by different architects both are in the Richardsonian Romanesque style.
 
The Richardsonian Romanesque architectural style was named for      Henry Hobson Richardson (1838-1886).

Hey, Cleo… still waters run deep, you know.

OK, so she doesn’t have a bazooka… that doesn’t mean she can’t change your life.

We have them in Alberta, too. It’s called a New World Quail in the Wikipedia article at this     LINK (we just call them quail).     Where there’s one, there’s usually more so if you went walking into your yard, you might be rewarded with a bunch of them taking off at the same time; it’s noisy.

We get them here, too…

Actually a close California relative, but I recognised this one right off as a quail.

Ours have a crest of thin, curved feathers.

There are different quail all over… In Ohio we called them Bob Whites from their call.

They tend to try to distract people and animals away from their babies.

….

If she’s just sitting there instead of flying away, she might be hiding chicks elsewhere … but not TOO far away… in the yard.

When they’re all walking together, the chicks follow her in a line, like a toddler’s pull toy.

our son and his family got all excited when they saw a bunch of babies following the mama. i couldn’t move fast enough to see any of them. that was their highlight of their trip. they are from san diego and they don’t have any wildlife. but it all sounds like what you and alexi have.
