\"\"George Rodrigue fondly recalled his childhood visits to the Mississippi Gulf Coast with his parents in the 1950s. \u00a0It wasn\u2019t until he was an art student at the Art Center College of Design in Los Angeles that he experienced the vastly different California coastline, later opening his Galerie Blue Dog in Carmel-by-the-Sea in 1991. \u00a0The beach and coastlines of Florida, California and Hawaii all appear in the limited number of Rodrigue\u2019s beach-themed works. \u00a0One of his most popular and well-known images is\u00a0Hawaiian Blues<\/i>\u00a0(1999), created for the cover of the Neiman Marcus catalogue on the occasion of opening a new store in Honolulu, Hawaii. \u00a0That painting, which depicts the Blue Dog with a lei of butterflies around his neck against a backdrop of the Hawaiian coastline is also one of the few images with palm trees. \u00a0Those palm trees are highly\u00a0reminiscent of those depicted in\u00a0Blue Dog, Blue Sea,\u00a0<\/i>although this image does not represent a specific beach.<\/span><\/p>\n

Based on a painting done in 1995, Blue Dog, Blue Sea\u00a0<\/i>is a stone lithograph printed on high-grade rag paper by artisans still producing works in the traditional manner; the colors are rich and varied with an appearance that resembles oil and chalk rather than ink. \u00a0As Rodrigue explained the process, \u201cEach person involved in the process specialized in a different field including separating the colors, etching the stone, and hand-printing the colors individually, layered one on top of the other, creating a continuous tone image similar to an original painting.\u201d<\/p>\n
