Monte Dolack has continuously inspired his audience with his ever growing collection of art. With his meticulous eye for detail, Monte brings the viewer into his work, creating an intimate connection between the viewer and the art. Monte continuously draws inspiration for his work from his many travels across our great state.
During his most recent travels, Monte found inspiration from not only some more prominent natural monuments, but also picturesque landscapes throughout our state. From this inspiration comes a new series of work. This group of paintings will be on display for the first time to the public at the Frame of Mind Gallery.
Join Frame of Mind fat 1706 Brooks street for their opening reception, July 7th, from 5:30 p.m. - 8 p.m., part of Missoula’s First Friday event. Light snacks and beverages will be available to the public during this show.

Hot Montana Afternoon: 
Leda and the Swan:
A beautifully rendered original gouache on paper painting.This piece depicts a woman bathing in the water of a lake near a swan. Her skin shines with the remnants of the sun soaking on her back, partially protected from a previously worn swimming garment.
Leda and the Swan is a story and subject in art from Greek mythology in which the god Zeus, in the form of a swan, seduces Leda. According to later Greek mythology, Leda bore Helen and Polydeuces, children of Zeus, while at the same time bearing Castor and Clytemnestra, children of her husband Tyndareus, the King of Sparta.
The piece represents Monte's diverse use of mediums, as he uses the gouache both in the style of a watercolor and as a thicker medium, with a consistency closer to an acrylic paint.

The pen and Ink drawing by Mary Beth Percival shows her elegant way with a simple pen, and the graphic design capabilities.
Mary Beth did many pieces for small businesses in Missoula. Her combination of Pen and Ink and Watercolor or Gouache would create a clean even image that could be easily read in many different formats. Not only did she use this style of medium for graphic design, but in her artwork as well.
The piece Bear with Fish illustrates the way simple line work can relay the feeling of movement and action. The use of a minimal medium can still transform an image into fast paced movement. The Bear and Fish seem to move freely onto the paper.

Monte Dolack is a staple in the world of Montana artwork. His artwork captures the true magic and beauty that is found all around us in Montana. A native of Great Falls, Monte Dolack grew up surrounded by the same sweeping vistas and big sky that inspired Charlie Russell. His love of Montana and passion for the West’s diverse landscapes and wildlife are evident in the images he creates and the commissions he undertakes.
