Skyscape art

Images called "skyscapes" often do include clouds or land, but these things can also be excluded or kept to a minimum.

There is often nothing to suggest scale in the art, unless a bit of landscape is included or some phenomena such as the depiction of clouds, precipitation, rainbows and aurorae.

During the day, the sky is seen as a deep blue due to the sunlight reflected on the air.

In the 1950s, Eric Sloane painted many cloudless skyscapes during his stay in Taos, New Mexico.

The constellation mural at Grand Central Terminal in New York City is an example of skyscape art.
