Original Oil on Board by K.L. Powers
Entitled "Back to the Earth" signed lower right. Image measures 17 1/4"x13 1/2"" in rustic frame handmade by the artist with gold painted insets. Long years on the Navajo reservation as a working cowboy/bull rider infuses power and authenticity into the surrealist style of Kim Power’s western art. Entirely self taught, Kim’s creation and continuing development of a truly unique treatment of a largely traditional subject began in 1984 when he was asked to create a 20’ x 30’ mural portraying work in the gold fields of the Yreka, CA historic district.  His work is also displayed in the Maritime Museum in Baltimore and the Ronald Reagan ranch in California.  Kim deeply feels and his work powerfully reflects the joys and plights of the Indians as civilization encroaches on land and traditions. Kim’s work is available as originals, limited edition prints, Giclee, and note cards.  Commissions, and personalization are also available. Using his knowledge and know-how from being a finish carpenter, Kim cuts, stains, and assembles each custom built frame.  From the rope and tacking to the leather around the corners.  Some of the frames can have upwards of 100 hand pounded tacks.
