Summertime ...

... and the livin' is easy.

Les Amis de Beauford Delaney is taking a summertime break to do some "easy living" over the next few weeks.

As you navigate the heat of the season, I hope you enjoy these rich, warm images of several of Beauford's yellow abstract works and this beautiful rendition of the song "Summertime" by Ella Fitzgerald and Louis Armstrong.
