Framed Contemporary Skyscape Art

Perspective is a factor in framed contemporary skyscape art pictures. Some painters show the sky as seen from the ground, such as in “Purgatory” by James W. Johnson or “Sonoran Sunrise” by Saija Lehtonen. “Big Sky” by Paul Krapf uses a panoramic format to portray the vastness of the sky. These paintings take a realistic approach, while Scott Naismith takes a more abstract approach in “Cumulus Light 2” and “Glasgow Sky.”

Other artists show the sky from mid-air, as if one were flying in an airplane. In fact, British artist Pat Speirs incorporates airplanes into his works, including “Portrait of an Icon” and “And Comes Safe Home.” Marina Petro applies a more abstract style to her mid-air skyscapes like “Red Moon” and “Approaching Mars,” the latter of which goes so far as to portray the sky as seen from outer space.
