On Nov. 28, the Big Sky Community Organization closed on the purchase of the 7.5-acre parcel comprising the Beehive Basin Trailhead and trail.
With an existing 83.5 acres of parkland, BSCO now owns and manages a total of 91 acres of parkland on behalf of the Big Sky community. All parkland owned by BSCO is a restricted asset for the purpose of public use and access. This newest acquisition is the first the BSCO will own in Madison County.
“Growing our community assets of parkland by over 12 percent is a huge accomplishment not just for those of us right now, but also for future generations,” said BSCO Executive Director Ciara Wolfe.
With current growth and development trends, BSCO is focusing their energy and effort on securing both parklands and trail easements that are heavily used and provide critical points of access into our National Forest and connections between existing parks and trails.
“Beehive Basin was a top priority for our organization,” said BSCO Board Chair Al Malinowski. “Following our successful model at Ousel Falls, partnering with the USFS, we plan to improve the trailhead experience at one of our most popular destinations in Big Sky. Thanks to the work of BSCO Board member Tallie Lancey, a broker with Big Sky Sotheby’s, and Suzanne Schreiner, a broker with the Big Sky Real Estate Co., paired with a generous donation from the Hough Foundation, we were able to act swiftly on this opportunity.”
BSCO plans to design trailhead improvements and open space parkland features over the winter months, while making the improvements as early as fall of 2018 after funding is secured through private donations and public grant opportunities.

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.
