8″x10″ acrylic, 2011. Odie’s family has some amusing naming practices when it comes to toys. Nina’s mother named each toy she recieved at her baby shower after the person who gave the gift, leaving the baby to rename them as she pleased later. Baby Nina, now just about to turn ten, renamed this stuffed dog “Odie,” after the family’s own pet! Nina’s grandmother Pat will give this painting to Nina for her upcoming birthday.
