Blue Dog in our den

I've always loved Blue Dog paintings and murals so this is the calendar for the room where my computer lives. For this post I researched a little and found out the following:

 

George Rodrigue was a Louisiana artist who wanted to capture the Cajun life, swamps, moss covered trees and a culture he thought was disappearing.

 

Blue Dog came from a Cajun legend of Loup-Garou, a dog-like creature who prowled the swamps. He turned out to be a blue dog with a haunting, wistful expression and became the symbol of Louisiana. Love him!
