I guess I have thrown all the rules out the window with these particular montages. In the top picture, I have featured three Americanic figures standing in front of a bizarre gun store right in St. Louis Park called The Frontiersman Gun Shop. I have driven by this place many times and each time I have said to myself, "I gotta paint that". The "three armed amigos" are a cowboy, a Daniel Boone type character, and a retro mid-20th century hunter.The bottom picture features the early 20th century regional artist Thomas Hart Benton painting a picture of Lake Calhoun. The narrative here is, I wasn't sure if I could do justice to painting a Lake Calhoun scene, but I new that Benton could. You can see for yourself.
