Love it!  Glad it's still intact.  Too much post-production editing of Power's originals IMO, but I'm sure the artist had his reasons

Indeed, Powers was notorious for cutting up his illustration work to be used as collage elements in other work.  He would also cut the tops off of certain illustrations he thought had value but needed improved composition for display (since a lot of cover illustrations have "blank spots" on the upper third to allow for titles).

I just can't get this pesky Nancy Sinatra song out of my head.  What's it called again?

Hmmm.  Oh well, great painting.  All your western SciFi paintings are great.  This one and panning for gold are my favorites.

Ha!  Yeah, I should do a Nancy Sinatra make-over : )
