Fred Weschenfelder was a man born in Montana with a heart the size of the Big Sky. Many of his friends and friends with special needs can attest to that. The parties thrown down by the river for these children with special needs added to his depth.
On Feb. 22, 2017, Jesus, with his expertly tuned diesel, came and took Fred home.
Fred’s immediate family includes his son Fred, daughter Bonnie, and sister Joyce Krueger (Dennis). Grandchildren include Jessica Smith (Brent), Luke Weschenfelder, Billy McKenzie, Aaron McKenzie and one great grandchild Parker.
Fred was preceded in death by his parents Fred and Mary and his brother Robert.
Fred was the proprietor of Castle Rock Inn from 1967 to 2013. He loved the river, the people, and the big outdoors.
His somewhat grumpy but comedic fast wit loved by most will be missed for many years. We will not soon forget you.
The viewing will be Tuesday, Feb. 28 from 5-7p.m. The funeral will be Wednesday, March 1 at 10 a.m. Both will be held at Smiths Funeral Chapel in Laurel, Montana at 315 East 3rd Street.
Donations in memory of Fred can be made to Reach Inc. in Bozeman, which can be reached at (406) 587-1271.

Event Details
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.
