How important is recycling to you?
Follow-up: Recycling bins are leaving Big Sky Town Center Oct. 1. Who should be responsible for ensuring Big Sky residents can recycle?
Amy Gale, Big Sky, Mont.
Operations, Big Sky Sotheby’s International Realty
“Recycling is super important to me. It’s something we should do for our environment, for our kids. I recycle at home, I recycle here [at work]. It’s a daily thing for me.”
Follow-up: “It’s usually the city that would take responsibility for it, but we’re unincorporated. I’m grateful Town Center has done it for so long, but we need to come together as a community and make an effort. Maybe it’s not one spot, maybe it’s a couple so the burden doesn’t fall on one group.”
Steve Noland, Anaconda, Mont.
Owner, C and S Jewelry Design Studio
“We try to recycle everything we can, even our jewelry. It’s pretty important – the world is already covered in plastic.”
Follow-up: “There’s got to be a community leader of some sort. That’s who would be responsible. I would have a local vote and see what they want to do. If it was a larger community, it would probably be mandatory.”
Richard and Cherie Crain, Helena, Mont.
Richard: Pastor, North Hills Missionary Baptist Church; Cherie: retired
Cherie: “I like recycling because it cuts down on waste, product containers, oil, tires, whatever, rather than going to landfills and polluting our oceans. Also, recycling can be used in other products: jewelry, clothing, materials for building, automobiles, and, as Seinfeld would say, “Yada, yada, yada.”
Follow-up – Richard: “The first thing I’d think of would be the local government.” (Upon being told Big Sky is unincorporated): “So you would be in a county. Out of curiosity, there [are] no city fathers here at all? I feel whatever the nearest to a government entity [would be responsible]. Recycling needs to be at the local level.”

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.
