Experience the spirit of the Wild West in this 8.5" x 15.5" original by famed American artist Ace Powell.

Featuring teepees, an Indian man and his horse.

Asa Lynn "Ace" Powell (April 3, 1912 - January 25, 1978) was an American painter, sculptor, and etcher of genre scenes and imagery relating to Indians, cowboys, horses, and wildlife. His artwork was influenced by that of fellow Montana artist Charles M. Russell.

Powell's lifetime body of work consists of between 12,000 and 15,000 artworks. Although he preferred working with oil paints, he also produced a large number of watercolor paintings and drawings, as well as a number of works in bronze, terracotta, and wood.

In about 1952 he attended the University of Montana on the G.I. Bill. He found that the university's art department stressed abstract art, which wasn't a style particularly well suited for a realist painter such as himself. One of his teachers told him that he couldn't make a living as an artist and would have to teach art.

When another instructor revealed that as a first-year teacher he was making $4,400, Powell replied, "Well, I'm an alcoholic and I was drunk half of the time last year and still make $7,500 so I've got no business here!" With that he quit.

He subsequently took a correspondence art course and learned to organize the things he had been taught over the years into formal presentations.
