Dan Young, a Coors Western Artist, captures the majesty of the mountain landscape in "Heading to Basecamp." "When I look at the landscapes before me, I strive to look beyond the obvious and bring to canvas the colors, values, and shapes before me, walking the line of traditional and abstract by painting the concepts of shapes rooted in the idea of simplicity,” reflects Young. Once these elements are discovered, researched, and captured on site, Young brings his fieldwork back to the studio to expand onto larger canvases.
