Frenetic scene of washtubs, a napping dog, a child peering under a dock, and midwife Mary Eliza Myrick at her cabin in the small rural town of Chipley in the Florida panhandle. The angular forms and slashing brushwork (a tangle of figures and architecture) create strong patterns and a bright palette.
