Blue Sky Art Show theme 'Edge' draws photography, illustration and mixed-media work

photographyApr 18, 2026632,273

The Blue Sky Art Show's weekly prompt "Edge" collected cross-continental submissions including ylamurto's "cliff riding" mountainbike video, a seagull photo at Amsterdam Centraal, and a Neist Point Lighthouse image from Scotland. Contributors from New Zealand shared early-autumn leaf photography, and one artist posted an early draft of infrared aerial photos taken through an airplane window. Photographers emphasized literal edges such as coastlines, station platforms and cliff tops while illustrators and mixed-media artists explored architectural framing and abstract margins. Posts used the #BlueSkyArtShow hashtag to centralize finished pieces and works-in-progress for the theme.

A view from the side of a large waterfall. A rainbow seems to be coming over the top of it to the bottom. More falls are visible in the background. The land is flat, and the water, particularly at the top, is a little muddy due to the flow.

Face-on at an angle to a steeply sloping sand dune, we see the horizon line angling upward from left to right. The sky is featureless and transitions from gray at lower left to completely black at upper right. Ripple marks add texture to the dune and provide context as the eye transitions from right foreground to left background.

An image of Beauly Priory. Likely built around 1230, only the exterior walls remain standing. Shot looking towards one of the narrow ends of the building, the side walls are fairly straight at the top while the back wall rises to support the peaked roof which is long since gone. The stones are a mix of reddish-brown, grey, and nearly black. Several tall grave stones stand inside the stone building. The floor is uneven with moss and lichen grow between (and on) flagstones and grave markers. Everything is damp with rainfall. Through the doorway the green grass of the yard and two grave stones are visible. Three windows are arranged with the middle opening set higher than the two flanking it. Large leafy green trees are seen through the windows and the open roof. The sky is a dark stormy grey.

A small stone hermitage sits on the edge of a steep cliff, surrounded by rocky mountains and green forest, glowing in warm sunset light.

Photo of black-bellied whistling ducks. One is facing right, standing in the grass on the edge of a pond. Next to the first duck is the second, facing left, and perched atop a post that has a lifesaving ring and rope hanging from it.

A photograph of the white cliffs of Dover. The steep cliffs are made of chalk and are a brilliant white. Grass is growing on the top and a bit on the sides, where the angle isn’t quite as steep. Beyond is the blue of the channel that divides the UK from France.

A phenomenon known as a fogbow arcs over a sand road in a national wildlife refuge in a salt marsh along the Atlantic Coast. Also called a "ghost rainbow" or "white rainbow", this one shows ever so faintly some red on the upper side and blue on the underside.
