Velocity Wallpaper of the Week for July 15, Summertime, by senior designer Colette Boisvert, is inspired by the song of the same name by the legendary composer George Gershwin. Featured in the DuBose Heyward opera Porgy and Bess, the jazz standard has has been recorded over 2,600 times by artists ranging from Billie Holiday and Ella Fitzgerald, to Janis Joplin and The Doors. The tune is based on an old Ukrainian lullaby.

This wallpaper makes me want to go on a rollicking road trip to Oregon with excellent people.

We would enjoy a picnic lunch of perogies and Beep. -JB
