In addition to his best known Cajun and Blue Dog paintings, it covers all the distinct phases of his work, beginning with his college Pop and Abstract canvases, followed by oak trees and Cajun folklife, and ending with his increasingly conceptual Blue Dog works and recent Hurricane paintings.

But more importantly, this book is a fun-filled demonstration of how artists use color to enrich their art. Hardcover - ISBN: 1584791624, Publisher: Stewart, Tabori & Chang, Inc., Pub.
