Straighten Up and Fly Right Painting

"Straighten Up and Fly Right" is one of my favorite swing numbers with the perfect tempo for dancing. The song was written by Nat King Cole and Irving Mills. It was based on a black folk tale that Cole's father had used as a theme for one of his sermon's. An excerpt of the lyrics is below. Painting intuitively, I have no pre-conceived ideas. But sometimes, images emerge. Maybe I was listening to this song when I was painting. What do you see? The painting has a contemporary thin white floater frame that brings the dimensions to 12 3/8" x 12 3/8" x 1 1/2" deep. Let your mind soar. A buzzard took the monkey for a ride in the air The monkey thought that ev'rything was on the square The buzzard tried to throw the monkey off his back But the monkey grabbed his neck and said, now, listen, Jack Straighten up and fly right Straighten up and fly right Straighten up and fly right Cool down papa, don't you blow your top
