Wendy's talk is titled George Rodrigue: Reflections of Love, and will walk attendees through George's process and technique of transferring his emotions onto canvas, particularly how he did so following his cancer diagnosis. The lecture will accompany the WBRM's current exhibition The River is the Road: Paintings by George Rodrigue, and Wendy will bring in new paintings from her personal collection for the presentation. 2 pm. Free. westbatonrougemuseum.org.
