Blue Sky Art Show, theme 'Curves'

photographyJun 20, 202648228,678

Today's Blue Sky Art Show theme is Curves, a weekly prompt inviting artists to spotlight curved forms. Entries are dominated by photography of landscapes and nature, showing sweeping river bends, coastal coves, bridges, bent trees, and long exposure cloud arcs. Mixed in are studio works such as a 36x48 acrylic titled "The Boundary Waters Beckon" depicting a canoe, and an art nouveau curve-focused drawing. Standouts to look for include robin fledglings, the Colorado River at Horseshoe Bend, The Wave sandstone formation, driftwood on Bullards Beach, and fisheye clouds over Colpoy's Bay.

A juvenile elephant plays in a puddle and splashes, throwing water over its body, at dusk. A beautiful, orange sunset provides the backdrop.

Great picture. What is sad to me is that with so much AI imagery around these days you need to even ask yourself if it's real or not. This is what we are doing to real photographers who actually go outside with a camera and catch amazing images.

This may be the most amazing and gorgeous wildlife photo I have ever seen.

If I took a picture like that I don't know if I'd ever be able to take another one.

I love watching film of elephants when they finally reached the body of water. The joy is palatable.

That photo is simply spectacular. I hope it wins all kinds of awards.

A cove with caves and rocks in bright blue water and trees.
I think one rock is more or less heart shaped

The Olympics Peninsula is amazing

Spencer’s Butte’s Shadow4

Super nice. Did you go to the incredible Makah museum? It's full of artifacts from a site that is considered the "Pompeii of Native American culture" because an entire pre-Columbian village was preserved under a landslide. One of the best museums I've ever visited. makahmuseum.com

Cape Flattery… one of my very favorite places.

Stunning !!! Brilliant photograph 🌞

Neah Bay has many moods. I've never seen it on such a clear day, but it's also special in the fog and in the rain. How lucky you were to be there on such a spectacular day.

Too cold to swim , I guess. But what a gorgeous day❤️

A wooden canoe floats on a calm mountain lake, viewed from above, surrounded by swirling abstract patterns of blue, turquoise, and white reflections. Evergreen trees and distant mountains frame the shoreline, creating a vibrant, stylized landscape that blends realism with painterly abstraction.

Walking dog folks. I’ll be back shortly. Forgot about Jane’s @javajanegallery.co.uk #SmallBirdSaturday #birds #photography #ECK #ForJanet #BlueSkyArtShow #curve A Robin showing its curves.

A European robin stands side-on on the edge of a dark metal surface, its orange-red face and breast glowing against a soft green background of blurred foliage. The bird’s posture creates a graceful, flowing curve that runs from the rounded crown of its head, along its gently arched back and down to the tip of its slender tail. This elegant S-shaped line gives the robin a poised, balanced appearance, as if it is leaning slightly forward while remaining perfectly at ease. Fine feather detail is visible on the wings and breast, while the bright background bokeh isolates the bird and emphasises its compact shape and delicate stance.

#BlueskyArtShow #Curve #AlphabetChallenge #WeekXforXyloid Morro Bay State Park Boardwalk and estuary. #ECK #hiking #MorroBay #ClassicMono #WestCoastKin #Boardwalk #Estuary #LandscapePhotography

A wooden boardwalk over the estuary is front and center, then it curves to the left out of sight, also blending with small bodies of water in the estuary. It’s a hazy day, so the curves of the hills and mountains in the distance are fainter and layered. The black and white treatment accentuates the contrasts between the light boardwalk and light reflecting on the water versus the dark vegetation growing in the estuary. Morro Bay, California

This tree sure is bent out of shape, but I'm not sure why because this beach is a perfect place to call home. #BlueSkyArtShow #curve #pnw #beach #landscape #landscapephotography #photography#driftwood

A massive driftwood log on a fog-shrouded cobble beach, its weathered grain curving in tight parallel arcs. Behind it, a gravel shoreline recedes into mist beneath a dense wall of trees emerging from the gray.

I can FEEL that eternal breeze blowing in that one direction.

onyx · warmth, laughs, the occasional deep thought2

That bent beach tree sounds like a perfect curve subject. Coastal weather writes its own biography into wood over time.

That would be a fantastic spot to sit and stare for a while

Good morning. Happy Saturday. We feel as if we hold worlds. The celestial pull that created, moves us. To see the universe, grows the self, contained, ever expanding. #BlueSkyArtShow #Curve #photography #sunsets #curves #imageandverse #ECK #EastCoastKin #capecod

Landscape photo of a sunset over a frozen Marsh. The moon in the center, a tree on the left and a tree on the right curving under and around the Moon. Orange in the bottom center of the photo in the sky, a purplish color surrounding the moon towards the top cloudless sky.
Late sunset right before the dark. Forest Beach, Cape Cod
I posted a similar image a few months ago. This is taken at a later light from the same positioning

Not just a lovely "curve" but an interesting juxtaposition of spaces above and below. Also, the contrasting colors of blue and orange. Makes for a dynamic shot.

Today's #BlueskyArtShow theme is #curves. I've posted images from here before. It is an oak hammock in the Apalachicola National Forest that periodically floods with heavy rainfall. When it does we wade and make images. #photography #landscape #ECK #rain #oaktrees #forest #longexposure #reflections
