The country surrounding Asheville s not new 10 Mr. Rowell, who has ipent the past 30 years in this vicinty reproducing on canvas the beauy of the mountains. While in New York his work atracted the attention of able critics vho induced him to return to Asherille for the purpose of painting a :ollection to be' used as a one-man ixhibit in one of the galleries?a l^cided compliment to a man who las never attempted to gain recogniion. His pictures are distinctly differjnt from those of other artists, >robably due to his seclusion from heir influence. Because of the lumber of years he has spent In he mountains he seems to catch he very spirit of them. Man Shows Through Worfc a Although Mr. Roewll has studied or years to portray the beauty of he out-of-doors, he ib never satisfied There is something within me," lays Mr. Roweill, "which is always toarding me on to something high:r." He is constantly searching for >eauty and finds it in the tinest eaf, the sun shining through the rees, or a quiet pool of water forms i picture in his mind, A few years ago the Charleston Evening Post recognized the merit if his work and commented as folows: "Mr. Rowell's paintings are ealities. One breathes the air and sees the sunshine in them." His gentle, kindly character speaks in his reproductions of naure which always inspire a tender eeling and have a breath of peace md quietude. The description that 3. H. Marius, the Dutch .critic, ;ave of Mattys Mavis, a famous Outch artist, most fittingly applies 0 Mr. Rowell, "A stranger whose sensitiveness makes him very slow n making frineds; a dreamer, wanlering and lost in these unsettled imes." Fellow Painter Praises Worlt A noted artist from Chicago who risked in Asheville recently saw me of Mr. Rowell's paintings and s quoted as saying: "Besides be 1 a bn.'nnlNr motnfful hnlrlo .

That is the general impression of those who are privileged to stand before one of his pictures and who have that artistic quality which enibles them t0 appreciate and feel what the artist has put into it During an interview he dashed to the picture he had been working an, picked up his palate knife and added a few stroks, then came back and resumed the conversation. He says that he cannot paint when anyJne is watching him unless they are talking about some other subject He 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. Rowell. "My answer is,.
