OIL ON PANEL 28" X 60", Ace Powell (1912 - 1978), Montana. A cowboy on horseback lighting a cigarette outdoors at dusk. Signed lower left with a signature and an ace card drawing. Born in Tularosa, New Mexico, Asa Lynn Powell, known as "Ace," was a traditional Western painter. He portrayed what he knew, the life and land of northwestern Montana. As a boy, Powell had watched Charles Russell paint in Bull's Head Lodge in Apgar. In 1938, after a few private art lessons, Powell became a self-taught artist, following in Russell's footprints to sketch and paint what he knew best, the cowboy and the Indian with their horses in the region around Glacier Park.
