Gardner search resumes
Published

Search and Rescue teams and officials from Gallatin and Madison County have resumed the search mission that had been suspended on March 28, 2011, for Bradley Gardner, a 24-year-old Big Sky resident who had not been seen since March 9.
Friday night, the Gallatin County Sheriff’s department and Big Sky Search and Rescue held a planning meeting to coordinate a search effort over the weekend. The plan for the weekend of June 9 was to send in search and rescue dog teams to cover the areas of greatest probability. A total of 10 dog teams from Montana, Idaho, Wyoming and Utah are assisting in the search.
“The area is very large and we are hopeful that the expertise of the special dogs teams will provide additional search coverage,” stated Incident Commander Ian Parker.
Bradley — known to friends as Brad — is suspected to have left the ski area. Teams worked extensively following his disappearance, searching the backcountry south and west of Lone Peak with a helicopter, snowmobiles, dog teams, skiers, snowshoers, and resources from nearby ski patrols and the Forest Service.
Brad’s father, Ed Gardner, has been in Big Sky since his son disappeared. In the last eight days, he’s been in Lone Lake Cirque twice, he said, “because that’s an area of significant interest.” Mr. Gardner also went to the top of the Dakota lift area with three of Brad’s friends.
“There was still a lot of deep snow at the top of the Dakota Lift,” he said. “It was clear why [the search teams] couldn’t have done anything until now.”
Ed Gardner hopes the warm weather will melt the snow making the search more efficient. He also thinks the search dogs will be a great asset.
“If they’re not [successful this weekend],” Mr. Garner said, “that’s when we may need to get support from private parties so we can go up into certain areas regularly. Right now the issue is snow.”

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.
Sundays, April 14, 21 and 28, 2024
Noon until 6PM.
