Powell: Ace of Diamonds & Cowboy in the
Rough
July 10 through October 13
Asa Lynn Powell spent most of
his life in Montana. He was raised near
Glacier National Park and worked for the
Park as a wrangler early in his life. He
observed Charlie Russell at work, and was
inspired to make his own career -- painting
and sculpting traditional images such as
Cowboys, Indians, Western Landscapes,
Horses, Lodges, Cabins, and Wildlife.
He was extremely prolific, creating an
estimated 12,000 to 15,000 paintings and
sculptures in his lifetime.
