probably due to his seclusion from I
their iufluence. Because of the
uumber of years he has spent lh H
the mountains he seems to catch JM
ihe very spirit of them.
Man Shows Through Wodt
Although Mr. Roewll has studied I
fur years to portray the beauty of |
the out-of-doors, he is never satisfied ;ffl
"There is something within me," 1
says Mr. Rowell, "which is always I
guarding ine on to something high- jlj
er." He is constantly searching for fl
beauty and finds it in the tinest [f 1
'leaf, the sun shining through the |
trees, or a quiet pool of water forms |
a picture in his mind.
A few years ago the Charleston IN
Evening Host recognised the merit JaM
of his work and commented as fol- I
lows: "Mr. Howell's paintings are
realities. One breathes the air and I
sees .1.0 sunshine in them."
His geiiue, kindiy character H

| to Air. Rowell, "A stranger whose H
; scusi.iveiicsa makes him very Blow

i dering and lost in these unsettled fl
times."
Fellow Painter Praises Woric
A noted artist from Chicago who
visited iu Asheville recently saw
one of Mr. Howell's paintings and
is quoted as saying: "Besides henig
technically materful, it holds
a spiritual quality that grips me.
I would never tire of looking at it.
He paints the very atmosphere."
thai, is the general impression of
those who are privileged to stand
ueiore one of his pictures and who
nave that artistic quality which enables
them to appreciate and feel
what the artist has put into it
Curing an interview he dashed to
the picture he had been working
on, picked up his palate knife and
added a tew stroke, then came back
and resumed the conversation. He
says that he cannot paint when anyone
is watching him unless they are
talking about some other subject. Ha
works from inspiration; he feels
the picture and with apparent ease
puts it on canvas.
"People often ask me If I use
a palate knife," said Mr. Howell.
"My answer is, 1 use a brush,
palate knife, my thumb, or my elbow?anything
to produce the desired
effect"
He resented the use of the word
"effort" in connection with his work
and quickly corrected it by quoting
Tolstoy to the effect that, "The only
art tht is worth anything U that
which comes of itself without effort."
If his work become* forced,
he leaves it for a time and doe*
something else.
Rowell Is quiet and retiring and
refuses to jgive any 'information
that might sound boastfuL He doea
not are for publicity or popularity,
but wishes to work quietly and undisturbed.
One of the picture* which received
much omment in New York was
