This newly available estate stamped print is based on a painting George Rodrigue created in 1998. The composition of She Brought Me Sunshine is similar to that of a traditional still-life painting. Rodrigue included lit candles and flowers in the painting, which symbolize the fleeting nature of life and the passage of time in still life paintings. The Blue Dog sprouts from a pot of red flowers. Behind the dog, Rodrigue has painted a painting of one of his oak trees. In this way, Rodrigue acknowledges the passage of time within his own career, specifically the transition from his early depictions of the Louisiana landscape to incorporating the Blue Dog into his artistic language. The print’s title is inspired by the shades of yellow that give the work its bright, cheerful appearance.
