The one in the Blue Dog Cafe is a copy, and the original hangs in the New Orleans Museum of Art. It has a complex and long history, and I've written about it in detail on my blog. I'm unable to link from this comment format, but the links within the story take you directly to related posts. For example, where I mention the Aioli Dinner in the Mamou story (within the second paragraph beneath the photo of the book), the name is underlined; if you click those words, it takes you to the post which includes the history of that painting. All of my posts include similar links, sending readers to additional info.<br /><br />You can also search 'Aioli Dinner' using the 'Search' feature on the right side of the page.<br /><br />And yes, I'm on the mend. Thank you for your kind words. Glad you enjoyed Mardi Gras!<br />WendyWendy Rodrigue Magnushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08289447655110009690noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8079877794128349006.post-71537997818088397492012-02-25T11:17:22.753-06:002012-02-25T11:17:22.753-06:00On my first visit to the Blue Dog Cafe Friday befo...On my first visit to the Blue Dog Cafe Friday before Mardi Gras I saw the painting that is featured on the cover of the book above on your blog. I asked the waiter if he knew the story of the painting and he did not. I would love to read the story of the painting if you have it elsewhere on your blog. <br /><br />That same Friday night my sister, Genie Currier, and I experienced our FIRST (can you believe it?) Mardi Gras parade at the intersection of St. Mary's and Johnson streets. It was glorious and so much fun. Got a load of photos. <br /><br />I hope you are all better from your Lundi Gras illness (alluded to in your Gambit blog).cityfisherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13707168648983690215noreply@blogger.com
