This landscape of Flathead Lake at night is one of Monte's most popular pieces. It features the multi-hewed waves lapping the small narrows islands in the foreground with towering, majestic pines jutting out from either side.
Pastel purples, pinks and blues of the distant Mission Mountains and a moonrise are prominent in the far background.
These are the kind of pieces in which Monte gets to highlight his exceptional talent at landscape-with meticulous brushwork and understanding of color, he creates realistic, yet somehow magical, landscapes of Montana.
