EYE YOUR SKY COLLECTION

EYE YOUR SKY

    This is the EYE YOUR SKY COLLECTION, the result of our SECOND GALLERY CHALLENGE. I wanted to have the list out here for all of you tomorrow, but then I thought that it would be better, to have  all the art works out on Saturday,believing that  Sunday is the best day, for someone among us, to set the issue theme of the 3rd Gallery Challenge. The essence is that a new challenge, could be set on each Sunday, run through the entire week, the list of members be published on Saturday, and  Sunday to be the day, that our new theme issue is set, so as all to know, when the challenge starts, and ends. This is what I think, but please, do take the time to consider it and let's exchange opinions on this challenge, on the comment thread.

           This second gallery challenge, is a true online gallery exhibition, and one by looking the artists/writers involved, can meet skies from all over the world, can remember again the serenity of a sunrise, the romance of a sunset, the strength of thunders, can see rainbows, and colours in love, all in the most perfect canvas there is: the sky, which is one, and the same for all of us. It is true, that if we want to find one feature that can be a solid defence to having humanity as a part of our nationality, this could easily be the sky, along with nature. We are most alike than different, and as the sky has its days, and nights, its rains, and suns, its clouds, and rainbows, we in our microcosm, have the same attitudes: Some times we are winter, other summer, some days we are night, and some nights, sunny mornings. We too have nature, and sky inside.

         I tried to nominate all on the Reader's Ρick, but the comment section rejected me, with the respοnse, that I had too many links in my comment. But trully, this would be to me a heartpick, and an  aesthetic nomination. Starting from M.C.S, with  the combination of poetry and painting, to Zanelle, with her modern and progressive works, visiting the sky of Schmoopie, tense, and full of mystery, to the work of Erica, where the sky is combined with the city and the everyday life, followed by the work of Lea Lane, who travels us to marvellous skies all over the world, and then to the thinking sky of Just Ρhyllis, who makes us remember that in the sky there is a lot more then clouds, colours, nature- our existence-, to Nilesite, who travels us to New York, and Shutterbug, who makes with her images a sky poetry, then to Art James, who combines the need for Ρeace, with meaningful writing and images, to Maria Heng, for a sky travel, and Olga Stathi, for another look in the sky, we can  explore the amazing art works of Donegal Descendant, and the marvellous sunrises of Designanator, to the so romantic skies of Little Kate, and the so artfull skies of Tg Within, only to then meet Blindream's to steal sky just from his backyard,and Libby's actual and metaphorical quest to find the sky ... a true miracle infront of our eyes, maybe for all of us to remember that the most perfect art work, is nature. ( This was my comment on the RΡ, followed by all the links, but unfortunately, it wasn't accepted, so I have it here).

             The second gallery challenge is still ongoing for anyone who wants to share with all of us his/hers images of sky, and I think that if this gallery challenge can be our own weekly tradition, this would be just great. This tradition belongs to all of us, and I am so glad that I am a part of a such artful, romantic, modern and thinkfull collection.

Sky is there, for all of us to fly...

                   Thank you for the time, interest and the creation of this GALLERY CHALLENGE, as our weekly tradition. Now, one of us has to set the theme issue for the 3rd Gallery Challenge, tomorrow!!!

Thank you all for your time and interest,

Best wishes!!!

Afrodite, thank you very much for both creating this open call and for posting the many entries in such a comprehensive and elegant way! I didn't see all of the entries when they were posted so I will now be checking them out. Also, I appreciate the visual nature of this open call to highlight the many photographers on OS and to maintain photography/photo essays as a significant feature for posts!
Thank you Designanator, I was anxious if you would like the presentation way, thank you for the understanding and the encouragement. This is the issue...to maintain art in all of its forms a significant issue here. Your work is excellent, and so is the French Kiss OC!!!!
Nice of you to do this Stathi.
A lot of good and beautiful work here, Afrodite.
Thank you JL, I always love to read your work!! Always glad to meet you here!

Matt, I must be honest, your latest review on Linda's work, made me jealous!! I want such a great review for my work too, if only my work, has something as good to be mentioned. Cause yours and Linda's Seccaspina books are true diamonds. So glad you liked this challenge!!
Wow Lots of work here. Thank you.
Thank you for your inspiration and all the work you put into this!
Thanks, Afrodite! This was a great idea and I was very happy to jump in and show off my sky. On to the next!
Thank you for this
Lovely way to meet other artists
[r] Stathi, you ROCK! absolutely rock!!! best, libby
Creativity is served best when it manifests in so many, generous ways! This idea is above and beyond the call of duty! Nice!
I thank you Zanelle, Lea, Nilesite, M.C.S, let's wish that more artists will come together in this challenge.

Libby, you rock, my friend, and your latest work, so good.

KC, thank you for reading and seeing the art works.
Wow! Thanks for sharing!
Thank you, Afrodite for the list, and for the motivation!
Excellent photos all... thanks for putting this together.
aha giving artists their well deserved due.
also teaching us how to talk, in your english.
new english.

". a true miracle infront of our eyes, maybe for all of us to remember that the most perfect art work, is nature"

yeah maybe nature is not just there to be plucked
and poked and put into machines to be
available to be put into other
machines..

i guess nature is a cool gal. i never totally gave myself
up to her
for she is below me.

in a good way.

never look up to nature, for we are the crown of creation,
what nature made, and loves,
and now
tis time to leave mother's breast,for
we have poisoned her milk
and cannot suckle anymore
for free, ungrateful infant Man
or too long suckled adolescent.

mother is ill.

tend to her.

or..deal with father.
What a pleasure to look at these beautiful pictures! Thank you for providing the links to the wonderful photography. I feel lucky to have found this post and will look forward to seeing more work.
Bravo...Good for you and thanks for this...
