EBS STAFF
With the final summer breezes closing in on the Big Sky softball season, competition is fierce heading into the final week.
As of press time on Aug. 19, Hillbilly Huckers at 12-2 held onto a narrow half-game lead over 11-2 Country Market, while the Yellowstone Club at 10-3 rounded out the top three. Four other teams remain in the hunt for the championship game, set for Wednesday, Aug. 26.
Fans have flocked to the community park ball fields in droves to watch the competitions, which began in early June. New league commissioner Lee Horning, also shortstop for the Huckers, has had his hands full this season but the community bands together to support this summer game.
The Big Sky Community Corp., which oversees and maintains the park, along with scores of volunteers help make softball in Big Sky a continued success.
Come out and support your teams over the next week and during the league tournament, scheduled for Aug. 28-30. Play ball!

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.
