Shaun Horne believes that all great artists also are great observers. This philosophy inspires his large-scale landscape works. In what he calls “the teeth of winter,” he regularly dons a maroon ski suit, paratrooper boots, and mask and plunges into the mountains for a day or more of painting near his home in Crested Butte, CO. The temperature can drop as low as zero degrees and he remains undaunted. “When you are painting, you are not creating heat, so the trick is to keep the body core so warm you can afford to lose heat through the fingers,” Horne says.
