In the early 1970s she painted a series of Mississippi landscapes which she described as "lyrical abstraction". These works are composed of horizontal bands of color with soft edges and gradations that meld with ease. Hull applied the short vertical strokes after the canvases dried in order to give the paintings a particular texture. The work offered here evokes the red clay of Mississippi under a white-hot sky. Works from this series won the Grand Prize in the Competitive Exhibition of Mississippi Artists at the Mississippi Arts Festival of 1972.
