Don Mundt's gallery and shop, Montana Art and Framing, is located a bit off the beaten path for art walks, sitting a block or so down Ronan Street
from South Sixth Street West.

He worried the name might not reflect artists he's shown, names like Nancy Erickson, Walter Hook and George Gogas.

"When people immediately see Montana Art and Framing, they might imagine more Western art or Charlie Russell, and I hardly ever show anything like that," he said.

"I have, and will again," he said, but they aren't representative of
his monthly showings.

He's rebranded the space as Gallery 709 – his address on Ronan –
to better reflect the work he hosts.

MASK SERIES
 
Masks are a cover for the life within, being decorative, ceremonial, realistic, abstract or combinations thereof. They can disguise, reveal, distort, emphasize, announce, antagonize, celebrate, instruct, or proselytize. A Bishop’s mitre, for example, is as much a mask as a New Guinea hunting mask.

The skull, to me, is also a mask, one that requires the life within to have left before revealing itself. It then becomes iconic, to be used as any other mask might be used, to express different purposes and positions.
Carol, meanwhile has been doing some redecorating. With the help of Peter and our grandson Daniel Hensey we brightened up the garage.
Nothing worse than a drab garage wall.
