About the Artwork

Artist Donald Barrie created the painting Mountain Orchard. It depicts the rich colors and textures of the Eastern Washington landscape. He notes, "The orchard is one of many that may be found by traveling west from Yakima near Naches up towards what is called the Nile River Valley area. The view is looking north from the road. Behind the orchard is part of Cleman Mountain and the Umtanum Ridge."

This artwork was acquired for the State Art Collection in partnership with Department of Natural Resources.
