Taos Valley depicts a Southwestern landscape with muted, earthy tones and delicate blossoming trees in the foreground. The rugged desert terrain is contrasted by the meandering stream and rolling sagebrush hills in the distance. The painting exemplifies Phillips' ability to capture the unique beauty of the American Southwest, and his attention to detail and mastery of color and composition.
