Until about 1950, Davis’ major subject matter was the miners, their families, and the rickety towns where they lived, all painted in a strongly regionalist style. His representation of Paradise Valley dates from this period. Development has made his scene unrecognizable today, and serves as a reminder of how small these now booming communities once were.
