He photographed Diane Bernard Keogh during several sessions in the 1970s and used these same photographs for Evangeline paintings over the next twenty years, including this one. <a href=\"https:\/\/legacyarttour.org\/2009\/11\/10\/a-history-of-evangeline-in-rodrigue-paintings\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Learn more about the artists Evangeline paintings on Wendy Rodrigue&#8217;s Life and Legacy page.<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p class=\"p4\" style=\"text-align: left;\"><span class=\"s1\"><i>*price is introductory and subject to change without notice<\/i><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><em>All prints sold directly by the Rodrigue Estate are also accompanied with a certificate of authenticity indicating the number of the print purchased from the estate. \u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p class=\"p1\"><i><\/i><span class=\"s1\">1989\/2017 by George Rodrigue<br \/>\n<\/span><span class=\"s1\">A New Silkscreen Print based on Rodrigue\u2019s 1989 painting<br \/>\n<\/span><span class=\"s1\">31&#215;23 inches paper (image approximately 26 x 20 inches)<br \/>\n<\/span><span class=\"s1\">Official Rodrigue Estate Stamp<br \/>\n<\/span><span class=\"s1\">Open Edition<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":8539,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false},"product_brand":[],"product_cat":[42,60],"product_tag":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-6566","1":"product","2":"type-product","3":"status-publish","4":"has-post-thumbnail","6":"product_cat-estate-stamped-cajun-prints","7":"product_cat-estate-stamped-prints","8":"product_shipping_class-prints","10":"first","11":"instock","12":"taxable","13":"shipping-taxable","14":"purchasable","15":"product-type-simple"},"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.3 -
