Description
George Rodrigue created the silkscreen print Big Texan Sky on the occasion of his exhibition, Blue Dogs in Texas, opening at the Amarillo Museum of Art in 2012. Back then Rodrigue told Amarillo Magazine that the Blue Dog has “blended well into Texas for a long time, probably second only to Louisiana.” Having not finished signing the edition prior to his passing, George Rodrigue’s estate has now completed the edition with an estate stamp (#s 225-290).
Big Texan Sky celebrates the iconography and landscape of the Lone Star State. 
Rodrigue often remarked on the difference between the open, expansive landscape of Texas and the dense, oak tree accented landscape of Louisiana. In Big Texan Sky he emphasizes that openness by making the sky the majority of the print’s background. The aptly accessorized Blue Dog stretches almost the full height of the print; the sky and the Blue Dog are both bigger in Texas.
