Blue Sky Art Show, theme 'Odd'

artApr 25, 2026521,371

The Blue Sky Art Show's weekly theme "Odd" gathered East Coast Kin-tagged photos and mixed-media submissions spotlighting peculiar subjects and techniques. Featured entries range from an infrared black-and-white landscape made by twisting the lens during exposure to a tulip whose stem fused to a petal, a carved dragon chair at It's a Burl in Kerby, Oregon, and tiny cement "faces" meant for yard display. The collection shows how photographers and makers use experimental processes and regional craft to turn botanical anomalies, found objects, and hand-carving into intentional oddities worth seeing.

For today's #BlueskyArtShow with theme of #odd. I suppose this image fits. It's an #infrared #blackandwhite image made with intentional camera movement. Except that this time, the lens was twisted during the exposure instead of moving the camera. #photography #landscape #ECK #ICM

Kevin the Rockridge peacock hanging in a driveway Kevin doesn't belong on anyone. He just lives in the neighborhood. Here, he's partially camouflaged and partially contrasted with the background. #BlueSkyArtShow #odd #BirdOfTheDay #CamoOrContrast #ArtYear #ColorADay #GreenSat #birds #ECK

A stunning peacock standing in a residential driveway with a grass strip in the middle and on the side of the driveway. He's facing left and his tail feathers are not up. His tail feathers blend in with the grass, but his bright blue neck and head pop. You can see the bottom of the house next at the top of the photo.

The #BirdOfTheDay theme is #CamoOrContrast, as set by Alan @alan678.bsky.social Roadrunners (Geococcyx californianus) blend perfectly into their surroundings and are fun to watch. We had quite a few of them on our property in CA. #ECK #WCK #CA #Desert #Birds #Roadrunner #Nature #Photography

a Greater Roadrunner (Geococcyx californianus), a large, ground-dwelling bird and member of the cuckoo family. It is shown in a natural, arid environment, standing on dry, sandy ground scattered with dry leaves. The roadrunner has mottled brown, black, and white plumage, which provides effective camouflage in desert and scrubland habitats. Its upperparts and chest are heavily streaked with black.

I should have looked at the sign on the front of this building. Wish I had been there when it was open just to see what all was in there. #BlueSkyArtShow theme is #Odd all day Saturday. Link to the feed in comments. #photography #statues #nightwalk

Looking up at a tall window with silhouettes of oddly shaped statues visible in the warm glow of the late night lighting.

A high-contrast black and white photograph captures a woman with a shocked, wide-mouthed expression peering over a wooden surface at a textured, cauliflower-like sculpture of a poodle. The woman has bangs and her hands are raised in a gesture of mock terror. The sculpture is white and bulbous, mimicking the classic pom-pom groom of a poodle. In the background, floor-to-ceiling bookshelves are filled with numerous books, including visible titles like "The Martian" and "Age of Aztec." The lighting is dramatic, casting deep shadows and highlighting the bumpy texture of the poodle sculpture and the woman's expressive features.

Waiting for tulips #ColorADay #GreenSat #bloomscrolling #macrophotography #EastCoastKin #ECK #photography #PhotographersUnited

Macro of an unopened tulip bud nestled inside a curled tulip leaf. There’s many shades green in the photo all with a light spring feel. In the lower right there’s a faint red lens flare which most people will probably miss

#BlueSkyArtShow Today’s theme is #odd I went to a #Medieval #Festival in #Knoxville, #Tennessee in 2024 and spotted this #odd armored suit hanging upside down in a tree holding a jousting stick next to the #jousting event. There is a skull in the helmet. 🤦‍♀️ #photography #ClassicMono #ECK

#Odd cardboard landscape for #BlueskyArtShow With lots of #VisualTexture too! #eastcoastkin #photographersunited

Photograph of a weathered cardboard box in front of a fence. The light streams through an opening in the boards. Bits of the paper have peeled away and up, forming a fake mountain range it appears as though it would be rough and gritty to the touch

Alan's @alan678.bsky.social theme for #BirdOfTheDay today is #CamoOrContrast, birds that blend in or stand out in their surroundings. I am going with camo. So here are a Long Eared Owl, a Tawny Owl, a Red Grouse and a Common Curlew chick. #Birds 🪶🦉 #Nature #Photoghraphy #Nikon #ECK
