George Rodrigue framed and matted numbered print under glass of a blue dog in front of a tree with a yellow star at the top, signed lower left "Rodrigue 65/100", 29.25" x 41.5". Bio from AskArt: George Rodrigue, whose career as an artist started with dark and lush landscapes of his native Louisiana bayou but shifted abruptly, and profitably, when he began a series of portraits of a single subject, a melancholy mutt that came to be known as Blue Dog. George found his model in his studio: a photograph of his dog, Tiffany. She was black and white in reality but became blue in his imagination, with yellow eyes. In a New York Times article in 1998, George said "the yellow eyes are really the soul of the dog, he has this piercing stare. People say the dog keeps talking to them with the eyes, always saying something different. People who have seen a Blue Dog painting always remember it. They are really about life, about mankind searching for answers. The dog never changes position. He just stares at you. And you're looking at him, looking for some answers, 'Why are we here?,' and he's just looking back at you, wondering the same. The dog doesn't know. You can see this longing in his eyes, this longing for love, answers." By the early 1990s, Mr. Rodrigue was painting only Blue Dog.
