George Rodrigue, born in New Iberia, Louisiana, has been an artist for most of his life and his paintings are known around the world, especially his "Blue Dog". However, this is the first time he has exhibited at the New Orleans Museum of Art. The show will run through June and it is wonderful to have a Louisiana native so honored. He is a true Cajun, humble and unassuming.
The painting in the photo is one of his very first and the table scene is also from one of his very first, only it had men sitting at the table with the women standing and serving.
I wish I could have removed the silver man at the head of the stairs and placed Blue Dog there.
