I discovered the art of Angie Wallace via X. Her contact on X is @AngieWFineArt
She does pencil portraits of pets and horses, but also does wildlife, and offers these in the form of commissioned portraits, prints, greeting cards and gifts.
It seems impossible that this is a ‘drawing’ of a pet, doesn’t it?
It’s actually a bit cool here this morning at 57 degrees F. The sun is shining brightly and the high is supposed to be 82. Just a perfect day. We are so lucky.

Shout-out to two friends in the path of Hurricane Milton – Marsha and Jeff. I have all appendages crossed that both come through the next few days well with very little, if any, damage. They are not in evacuation zones.
American Heart Association
My husband and I have routine doctor appointments today. Hopefully, we’ll be cleared to live our lives the best we can for the next 6 months before having to go back again. We are actually seeing an APRN (Advanced Practice Registered Nurse) today, rather than our regular primary doctor. Our sweet doctor broke her shoulder in a snow mobile accident on vacation with her husband. She had surgery, but it didn’t do the job. So now she has had to undergo a 2nd surgery. I really hope this time her pain goes away and that she gains full range of motion with physical therapy. I’ll get an update, I hope, at our appointment today.
I’m hoping that eventually my weight loss will result in good blood test numbers. If we get to wait 6 months before seeing our primary again, I can be much closer – if not AT – my goal weight. One can hope. At least there will be less of me. :0)
We are lucky to have a frozen meal company called, “Stu’s Clean Cookin'” in Greenwood. It is owned and run by veterans, a fact we like a lot. Not only is their food good, but I was able to get online and look through their offerings, each with a complete nutritional run-down on the meal. I was able to find several that were low sugar for my husband and several low carb for me. I showed the low sugar listings to my husband and he chose the ones he wanted. The store also offers $12.00 savings if you buy 12 meals, so we did that. We’ll each enjoy one of our choices this evening.
I’m hoping to finish two wood-burned pieces today. I’m also getting excited about hand-painting a package or two of stationery and/or note cards. It’s fun to be able to spend time in my art room, concentrating on colors, shapes and texture.

I’m really glad I can get on the Internet and find photos and paintings to show how glorious the fall can be. Here, where I am in Arkansas, a lot of the leaves have already fallen off the trees, giving up due to lack of rain and previously scorching temperatures. I can vicariously soak up the beautiful colors and FEELINGS, so I’m not complaining.
I’ve featured this amazing artist on the blog before, but it truly amazes me that instead of simply doing beautiful sculptures of children, she tells a story, makes you react emotionally with just a glance. I just can’t say enough about her.

I just found this recently and intend to research this artist more and share her work with you. I expect the grass and flowers to move in the breeze or the doggies to move their heads. Just amazing.
And finally this morning, I guess I’ll never really grow up. I’m drawn to handmade dolls of all kinds. I don’t actually BUY them because I don’t have granddaughters, but I WANT to –

I wish you a happy Sunday, filled with laughter and love.
