a little about Ace Powell:
Born in Tularosa, New Mexico, he became a painter of western action scenes, wild animals, and Indian figures in realistic style and in the tradition of Charles Russell. Powell’s trademark signature on his paintings is the ace of diamonds, which also became his nickname.  He was prolific, creating between 12,000 and 15,000 paintings and sculptures. He considered oil to be his best medium although he loved sculpting in terra cotta, stone, and wood. He also was skilled at etching.
He moved to Montana at age one month. His mother was a schoolteacher, and his father was a cowboy foreman on the Ben Steven’s horse ranch, then a homesteader, and eventually a worker for the Glacier National Park Service.  His life has involved many changes of location and personal circumstance, much of it due to his alcoholism, which he eventually overcame. Eventually he settled in Kalispell.
Charlie Russell’s summer home was near the Powell home, and the Russells were family friends and encouraged Asa, nicknamed “Ace” in his artistic talent. He loved the Blackfeet Indians so much his father sent him to school on their reservation, and these people became one of his most frequent subjects. He also worked on the Bar X Six Ranch where he was a saddle-horse guide for many visiting successful western artists. He built a studio in Choteau, Montana and from there worked as a wood animal sculptor and did book illustrations.
