In Love on the Bayou<\/em>, George Rodrigue used a restrained color palette to create a moody painting of the Blue Dog in a landscape setting. The painting relies primarily on the use of shades of blue and green. The blues Rodrigue used to paint the sky echo the blues used to depict the Blue Dog. Here, Rodrigue\u2019s dark oak tree, cut off at the top with sparse branches, emphasizes the greens that make the landscape feel lush. The dog\u2019s yellow eyes add warmth and vibrancy to the cool blue and green tones. Together, these elements make Love on the Bayou<\/em> one of Rodrigue\u2019s quintessential Blue Dog landscape paintings.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
