About this title

About the Author:

GEORGE and WENDY RODRIGUE have known each other for more than 10 years, but it was not until 1997 that George married the woman who so resembles the jolie blonde that has appeared in his paintings since the 1960s. Born and raised in the heart of French Louisiana, George achieved worldwide fame with his Blue Dog series, in which he transformed the image of the Cajun werewolf dog-or loup-garou-into an international pop icon. As the former director of Rodrigue's gallery in Carmel, California, Wendy Wolf helped shape this success story. Today the couple owns and operates two galleries (the other is in New Orleans).

From Publishers Weekly:

Cajun artist George Rodrigue has painted the Blue Dog (derived from the Loup-Garou of Cajun folklore) in innumerable situations, and the dog's friendly if somewhat haunted aspect has enchanted viewers endlessly. Following Blue Dog, Blue Dog Man, Blue Dog Christmas and other titles, Blue Dog Love presents more than 50 previously unpublished Blue Dog paintings, accompanied by Wendy Rodrigue's remarks on meeting and falling in love with the artist. Sales of this book, which has a red velour cover with a heart-shaped cutout whence Blue Dog peers, should peak around Valentine's Day, but a 22-city author tour should bolster sales this fall.
