Love springs forth from the most curious places, and for George Rodrigue and his wife, Wendy, love came, quite literally, from out of the Blue. Through the words and images in this colorful collection of all-new Blue Dog paintings emerges a love story for all ages: how a painter found his muse, and how one woman found her way into the heart and soul of the Blue Dog Man. From the furtive glances and awkward silences of blooming passion to the exquisite longings of a long-distance relationship and, ultimately, a fairy-tale wedding on the bayou beneath a century-old oak tree, Blue Dog Love is George and Wendy Rodrigue's valentine to each other and to the world. For longtime fans of Blue Dog, Blue Dog Love is an indispensable new chapter in the ever-evolving Blue Dog story. For anyone who has ever fallen in love, it is a romance in words and pictures that's both inspiration and revelation. "My first secret love was painting," says George. "My second secret love was Wendy. But there's no reason to keep secrets anymore."
