Blue Road to Glory, designed in 1999 by George Rodrigue, is a newly released print in 2024. This Estate Edition of 175 measures 12 x 16 inches and is available for purchase from Rodrigue Studios or online.
Based on the 1999 painting by the same name, Blue Road to Glory, George Rodrigue depicts the Blue Dog in an alternative landscape: the skies and clouds are cotton candy colored blue and pink, and the road is bright red. Cutting through that road is a waterway, a nod to the bodies of water Rodrigue often included in his early landscapes of Louisiana.
The print edition of Blue Road to Glory employs the split fountain effect, a sophisticated printing technique that produces subtle gradations of color across each print. This method, which Rodrigue utilized in his early Blue Dog prints, has been meticulously applied to this edition to replicate the nuanced variations of blue shades observed in the sky of the original painting. The intentional use of the split fountain process enhances the individuality of each print, as the hand-pulled quality inherent to this method may result in slight variations that underscore the uniqueness of every piece in the edition.
