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."
