Summertime and the "livin"is easy

Summertime,
And the livin’ is easy
Fish are jumpin’
And the cotton is high

Your daddy’s rich
And your mamma’s good lookin’
So hush little baby
Don’t you cry

One of these mornings
You’re going to rise up singing
Then you’ll spread your wings
And you’ll take to the sky

But till that morning
There’s a’nothing can harm you
With daddy and mamma standing by

Summertime,
And the livin’ is easy
Fish are jumpin’
And the cotton is high

Your daddy’s rich
And your mamma’s good lookin’
So hush little baby
Don’t you cry

Estelle O'Brien

The colours are exquisite and the words of that great song seem to make them dance and shimmer languidly across the canvas. Beautiful.
Susan Grissom replied

Love that song…. reminds me of the heat and swinging on a wraparound porch,
mare

The heat is really shimmering in this painting – and it is a brilliant representation of the feel of that song. Very inspiring (as usual!)
