Blue Sky Art Show, theme 'growing'

photographyJul 18, 2026862,101

The Blue Sky Art Show is a weekly community event with today's theme "growing." Contributors are sharing mostly nature-focused work and small experimental pieces, from closeup plant and fungi photography to bird studies, monochrome landscapes, and a raw-edge appliqué quilt. Standout entries include young wood ducklings learning from older siblings, crocosmia growing beside a pond dotted with waterlilies, and a winter roost of Black-headed Gulls on the shore. Look for macro shots of mushrooms after recent rain, tiny experimental gouache paintings of new shoots, and a textile piece titled Ghost Phlox interpreting floral growth.

A delicate apricot-coloured poppy has raindrops on its delicate petals. It is curved like an umbrella. The background is a dark, natural green.

“If the sight of the blue skies fills you with joy, if a blade of grass springing up in the fields has power to move you, if the simple things of nature have a message that you understand, rejoice, for your soul is alive” ~Eleonora Duse Listen to Nature #BlueSkyArtShow#growing #ColorADay#GreenSat

Today's #BlueSkyArtShow theme is #growing. These beautiful little mushrooms were photographed in the woods behind my house. We are finally getting rain after a prolonged severe drought and they seem very happy with that. #photography #landscape #ECK #mushrooms #fungi #Mycology #macro #FungiFriends

I'm trying to move away from realism to a more interpretive style so I’ve been creating small experimental paintings. This is one of them - hopefully tiny shoots of growth for me as an artist. 2.5 × 3.5 ins #blueskyartshow #growing #gouache #tinypainting #aceo

A small stylised painting of trees and shrubs in shades of brown and green. A brush is place alongside the painting to indicate scale.

Purest green #BlueskyArtShow theme: #growing #photography #ECK

Shallow depth of field photo of an unripe green ear of wheat - the others around it are all out of focus, giving the photo a hazy green quality.

A clutch of green apples growing on a small tree in partial shade in my garden. The sun filters through the tree's green leaves and lights the fruit in different shades.

Winter sunsets hit a little different as they don’t come with the sting in their tail that the Summer heat brings as the sun sets. Wishing everyone a glorious day or evening ahead ♥️ #Winter #Australia #LandscapePhotography #ECK #BlueSkyArtShow #Sunset #Photography
