L’un des passe-temps préférés de Van Horne à Covenhoven était la peinture. Il avait l'habitude de peindre rapidement, étant persuadé que la rapidité d'exécution s'imposait à l'art inspiré. Il déclara un jour: «Il n'y a pas de place pour l'intellect dans l'art. L'art est entièrement une question de sentiment…. Tous les grands artistes qui ont acquis une renommée mais l'ont ensuite perdue étaient des intellectuels.»
L’artiste autodidacte se retirait souvent à l'étage supérieur du pavillon des bain à la pointe sud de l’île, pour peindre des paysages quelque peu éthérés, inspirés des bois, des prairies et des rives primitives de l’île Minister. À d'autres occasions, il dessinait à l'extérieur, parfois en compagnie du célèbre artiste romantique américain George Innes,
"Sunrise in the Wood", un tableau de George Innes appartenant aujourd'hui au Clark Art Institute (Williamstown, Mass.) a déjà fait partie de la collection de William C. Van Horne.

Van Home avait une énergie illimitée et dormait rarement plus de deux ou trois heures. Un soir, alors qu'il recevait des amis, il annonça qu'il avait l'intention de rester éveillé et de peindre la lune brillant sur la baie de Passamaquoddy. Le lendemain matin, quand ils descendirent pour le petit déjeuner, le tableau, terminé et encadré, était accroché dans la salle à manger. Il est toujours là , mesurant quatre pieds sur cinq.

Sir William a toujours affirmé que l’une des principales attractions de l’île était son inaccessibilité relative depuis le continent. Pourtant, il ne pouvait pas rester longtemps sans la compagnie d’amis stimulants. De plus, il adorait faire visiter son domaine aux gens.
Men of broader intellect know that there is no sharp distinction betwixt the real and the unreal; that all things appear as they do only by virtue of the delicate individual physical and mental media through which we are made conscious of them; but the prosaic materialism of the majority condemns as madness the flashes of super sight which penetrate the common veil of obvious empiricism.

Well, emperor Kova, strong personality, but intellect.... ha. And what about new developments? Afraid of change! That's the description that suits the emperor best. But beware when you've reported about new land. Kova will confiscate it, and the cat who risked it's live is forgotten. All you can get is a tongue over your head, and a smash on your nose to remind you of your position. But you stay loyal, you stay loyal for the sake of the happiness of your owners.
