Today I have nails inspired by one of my favorite Louisiana Artists, George Rodrigue. He is famous for his Oak Tree paintings and my personal favorites, The Blue Dog.
I love the bright colors and designs of his blue dog paintings, they're just so fun and the blue dog is just so stinkin' cute.

I went to a Blue Dog exhibit at the Louisiana State Museum in Shreveport not too long ago that was really neat. I just love his style.
What do you think? Have you ever seen The Blue Dog paintings before? Who is your favorite contemporary artist?
Thanks for stopping by, have a fantastic day! :)
