Moe B. and Cow, for Grace and Norah
Moe B. belongs to 8-year-old Grace, and Cow belongs to 4-year-old Norah, two sisters with serious love for their lovies. They each have had these stuffed animals from the day they were born, and both take them everywhere (which makes it very difficult for their mom to get the toys away long enough to wash them).
Grace and Norah’s great aunt, Julie, lives in Duluth, Minnesota (my hometown!!), and won the toy portrait in the Duluth Marshall School benefit auction (my alma-mater!) last spring. The painting is a Christmas gift for Grace and Norah.
