The Big Sky Community Corporation,
a nonprofit based in Big Sky
is a local parks and trails entity created
to promote, acquire, preserve
and maintain parks and trails in the
Big Sky Community.
A major area of focus for the
organization has been the Big Sky
Community Park. This year, the
BSCC built three fields: two for
baseball/softball and one for mixed
use. They also had sod placed on
all three fields, renovated and
relocated the skate ramp, created
a basketball court, resurfaced the
tennis courts and paved parking
lots. In addition, the park now has
additional electricity, scoreboards,
bleachers and a wildlife resistant
trash enclosure.
Nearby, the Crail Ranch, the historical
park in the BSCC network,
is slated to receive a new information
kiosk and offered programming
throughout the summer of 2012.
Establishing and maintaining trails
is also a BSCC priority. This year,
the Crail Trail was expanded, allowing
further access along the creek
and adding a loop around Big Horn
Ridge and back into the Community
Park. The Spur Road Trail, which
provides safe access from the Town
Center and West Fork Meadow area
to the Meadow Village and Canyon,
received a fresh seal coat. And this
fall, trail work began on the popular
Ousel Falls Trail. To prevent
further erosion, retainer walls,
gabion baskets and water bars were
installed or improved. Work will
continue there next spring.
The BSCC also provides programming
so its community resources
are used to the fullest. The organization
supports tennis, disc golf
and softball players, as well as
Camp Big Sky and local skateboard
community.
But fun and games and great outdoor
resources aren’t free. Raising
the costs of maintaining the trails,
parks and programming is an ongoing
mission for the BSCC. Much
work and substantial funding is
still needed to complete the park’s
resources. Securing and improving
public trails is a constant for the
BSCC.

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.
