During a trip to New Orleans we noticed that Blue Dog paintings were prominently displayed as a tribute to the artist, native son George Rodrigue. Since purchasing a painting or even a print was beyond our budget, we were happy to find this book which we had seen at the George Rodrigue gallery in New Orleans. The book tells the interesting story behind the Blue Dog and his relationship with the artist, as well as exposing you to his other work. It's a great way to have a piece of an iconic painter without breaking the bank.
