Howard L. Munns (1911-2002) was a gifted artist and student of life. Born in a homesteader's sod hut on the barren plains of Montana, orphaned by the age of 17, his early life was tempered by poverty and hardship and annealed by the Great Depression. Self-taught and nurturing his natural talent in an era when art was thought to be no more than a frivolous waste of time, he channeled his passion into steady work and slowly built a successful life. Tentative yet tenacious, sensitive yet practical, he shouldered all burdens and persevered, ultimately winning prosperity and satisfaction in a life well-lived. Written in four installments over the last 20 years of his life, The View from the Summit is his story in his own words. See more here.

"For the serious artist who wishes to improve his skills there is no substitute for drawing from life." Howard Munns was a firm believer in the value of observing and recording life in the moment. He spent countless hours out in the countryside, sketchbook in hand, recording the small nuances of light and shadow, rough bark and weathered wood, the reflection of water and the density of stone. He filled hundreds of sketchbooks with drawings that could capture a landscape in just a few quick, bold strokes. This collection of sketches is intended to inspire and encourage the artist in all of us, to show the value of constant study and practice as well as the satisfaction in a creation well wrought.
