About the Artwork

Valley Foothills, Winter Trees is part of a series of photographs by artist David Grant Best that capture the landscape of Washington's Skagit River region during autumn and winter. The scenery is shaped and defined by heavy precipitation, fog, and snow, what Best describes as elements of a "mystical landscape."

This artwork was acquired for the State Art Collection in partnership with Burlington-Edison School District.
