Russell's
Haunts-from the Judith to Glacier National Park
The MPA is honored to have been asked by the
C.M. Russell Museum to produce a show specific to areas that C.M. Russell lived and worked in. Each member of the Montana
Painter's Alliance will be submitting 2 plein air pieces from the spring and fall paint-outs from 2009, along with the
studio pieces resulting from each plein air piece, for a total of 4 pieces from each artist. This follows our first successful
partnership for both the MPA and the Russell Museum in 2008. More information, but stay tuned: this will be well worth seeing...
Contact the MPA or Ann Morand, Curator, C.M. Russell Museum at www.cmrussellmuseum.org for more information.

Spring Paint-out
in the Flathead Valley of Western Montana May 21, 22, 23, 2010 The MPA will be headquartered in
the Polson and Ronan areas at the southern end of Flathead Lake. With an abundance of farms and ranches, plus the lake, the
Flathead River, and the National Bison Range at Moeise, subject matter is at a premium. The Main Street Gallery in Ronan has
asked to hang some of the works created during this paint-out by MPA members. The MPA members plan to paint from St. Ignatius
and Moeise (National Bison Range) to Polson, MT. Please check back. More information will follow. We encourage all those
interested to come, watch, or paint with us! Just contact us from this site or email a member.

MPA Fall Paint-out, Glacier National Paint October 2, 3, & 4, 2009 Beginning at the historic Bullhead Lodge on the shores of MacDonald
Lake, the MPA will begin the paintout painting where artist Charlie Russell spent so much time. At this time of the year,
the fall colors will be literally exploding from the landscape. On October 3rd, the group will be traveling to the eastern
side of the park between Babb and East Glacier for a totally different type of landscape with aspens and willows sharing their
colors with us all. The public is invited and encouraged to stop and visit with each of us. Paintings from this paint-out,
plus those from the spring paint-out on the Trask Ranch near Utica, Montana will be on display at the C. M. Russell Museum
beginning in May of 2010. Additional information is found on this page.
