Local versions of Blue Dog adorn library walls

Pictured at top, Renee Hunt, of The Art House in Ruston, installs the annual Spring Blue Dog art show in the entrance at the Lincoln Parish Library. For this show, growing artists at The Art House paint interpretations of famous Louisiana painter George Rodrigue’s classic Blue Dog every year in March to celebrate the late artist.

More than 30 local youth artists are represented in the collection, which will be on display for the community to see at the library until April 30. Pictured at bottom, Julian Kilpatrick assists The Art House in hanging the display.
