I can't tell you how much we appreciate your passing it along through your presentation in Atlanta as well. I enjoy your comments here and on facebook. Thank you again - and best of luck to you in your own art interests and endeavors - WendyWendy Wolfe Rodriguehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08289447655110009690noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8079877794128349006.post-698770888902860582012-02-03T06:39:16.836-06:002012-02-03T06:39:16.836-06:00George is my VERY favorite artist, period. There isn't a single thing that he has done that I don't like. For me, he was my art world game changer and what moved me beyond Audubon and his birds. When I studied at the High Museum of Art for their highly competitive art docent program, we were asked to choose our favorite artist and write about him or her and then do a presentation. Typically, there were those who chose Georgia O'Keefe (who I like), Andy Warhol, Thomas Kinkade, and even, believe it or not, Bob Mackie who is considered a textile artist in costuming. I chose George Rodrigue. I'll never forget when everyone and their mind connected to the Absolut Ads. But they were still naive and incomplete in their education of George Rodrigue and I was ONLY too happy to teach them. By the way - I got the ONLY A in the class!! Thanks George because your art TRULY captures the culture of my native state and makes my soul sing and smile EACH and EVERY time I see your various works. NOTHING makes me happier than when I get a notecard with a Blue Dog on it. That's SUCH a HUGE lagniappe to me!!xoxo LisaLisanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8079877794128349006.post-89028896780852421392012-01-17T13:49:10.522-06:002012-01-17T13:49:10.522-06:00I love the Swamp dogs....Saundranoreply@blogger.com
