The Lone Peak High School Big Horns football team (2-2) suffered a
disappointing defeat in their home opener 57-12 to Billings Christian on
Saturday, Sept. 28.
Billings (4-0) got off to a fast start with two quick touchdowns that had the
Big Horns in a hole all afternoon. The home team had trouble containing the
faster, bigger Billings squad, which has several returning seniors on its roster
and took full advantage of their size and speed.
Eddie Starz rolls out for a pass
The Big Horns scored near the end of the first half with a 22-yard pass play
from quarterback Eddie Starz to Cooper Shea in the corner of the end zone.
The Big Horns also scored early in the fourth quarter on another pass play
from Starz to Shea, but were unable to convert their extra point attempts.
The Big Horns have been playing on the road since early September and have
two more home games, the Oct. 12 homecoming game against West
Yellowstone and Oct. 26 against Lima.
The homecoming game will feature the coronation of the homecoming royalty
and a community parade with local homecoming floats and other
festivities. For more information on LPHS Homecoming, see section three in

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.
