One option the Big Sky Water and Sewer District is exploring to address the community’s wastewater disposal issue is obtaining a DEQ permit and building a pipeline to the Gallatin River. This would allow them to discharge treated wastewater into the Gallatin, as is done downstream in Bozeman.
Is this a wastewater disposal option you would support?

“As long as it doesn’t hurt the fish … It’s gray water, it’s not poisonous, it’s not toxic, but it’s not drinkable … I would support it as long as it doesn’t hurt the ecosystem. What other option do we have?”

“I would if it solved a problem, but I personally like to keep things how they were rather than manipulating them for human use … I think [expanding wastewater capacity would create] more business opportunities, but I don’t know enough about it.”
Greg Lewis, Big Sky, Mont.
Floor Associate, Roxy’s Market
“It’s a terrible idea … you’ve got a 55-mile, immaculate stretch [of river] from here to Bozeman. I wouldn’t want to see that affected … I don’t understand why they [have] a golf course that’s sprayed with a million of gallons of effluent but they can’t ski on snow that’s been made with effluent.”

This experience can activate and clear the chakras, release trauma, reset the nervous system, connect us with higher consciousness, and help us achieve self-actualization.

We all are familiar with using a limited palette, but do you use one? Do you know how to use a limited palette to create different color combinations? Are you tired of carrying around 15-20 different tubes when you paint plein air? Have you ever wanted to create a certain “mood” in a painting but failed? Do you create a lot of mud? Do you struggle to achieve color harmony? All these problems are addressed in John’s workbook in clear and concise language!
Based on the bestselling “Limited Palatte, Unlimited Color” workbook written by John Pototschnik, the workshop is run by Maggie Shane and Annie McCoy, accomplished landscape (acrylic) and plein air (oil) artists,exhibitors at the Big Sky Artists’ Studio & Gallery and members of the Big Sky Artists Collective.
Each student will receive a copy of “Limited Palette, Unlimited Color” to keep and take home to continue your limited palette journey. We will show you how to use the color wheel and mix your own clean mixtures to successfully create a mood for your paintings.
Each day, we will create a different limited palette color chart and paint a version of a simple landscape using John’s directives. You will then be able to go home and paint more schemes using the book for guidance.
Workshop is open to painters (oil or acrylic) of any level although students must have some basic knowledge of the medium he or she uses. Students will be provided the book ($92 value), color wheel, value scale and canvas papers to complete the daily exercises.
