Painted in a uniform bright blue, the dog contrasts with the painterly, more natural world around it. The easel holds a typical, yet unfinished early Rodrigue landscape painting. Through the window is a finished landscape, full of color and hope, like a brand new day.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e“Sometimes I incorporate the Blue Dog with the old Cajun landscape that I used to paint.

I also worked with fifteen other artists and craftsmen to make this happen. Each person specializes in a different field including separating the colors, etching the stone, and hand-printing the colors individually, layered one on top of the other, creating a continuous tone image similar to an original painting.”\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"http:\/\/www.wendyrodrigue.com\/2013\/04\/looking-for-beach-house.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003eRead more in Wendy Rodrigue's Life and Legacy page.\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e*Price and availability subject to change without notice.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eAll prints sold directly by the Rodrigue Estate are also accompanied with a certificate of authenticity indicating the number of the print purchased from the estate.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56358061572262,"sku":null,"price":4000.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0738\/1726\/0198\/files\/Good-Morning-Acadiana-2017-25x25-Ed-90.webp?v=1775772816","url":"https:\/\/9jdgye-hn.myshopify.com\/products\/good-morning-acadiana","provider":"George Rodrigue","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
