Welcome to the Gallery
South Carolina artist Blue Sky is best known for his 50' x 75' mural 'Tunnelvision,' on the AgFirst Farm Credit Bank in the center of downtown Columbia. A professional artist for 45 years, Blue Sky has made a name for himself through his instantly recognizable romantic-realist style, his bold thematic material, and his innovative, often perplexing, public murals and sculpture.
The Blue Sky Gallery, located on Saluda Avenue in the historic Five Points area of Columbia, has displayed his work exclusively since 1981. Currently pictured is the Rainy River print available for purchase.
Blue Sky and his wife Lynn currently reside back and forth between his Columbia, Austin, and Los Angeles studios. His work is also available at the Gallerie Amsterdam in Carmel, CA. Look for us on facebook: https://www.facebook.com/#!/pages/Blue-Sky-Gallery/100591828421

Posted by Lynn Sky on September 7, 2011
Thank you all for your wonderful support in these closing days! Our goal is to hopefully be finished by the end of the September, for those of you who still want to come by... We will be open Thursday - Saturday through September 30th from 2-6pm. We've incredibly sold over a third of Blue Sky's work from the gallery since announcing our closing but we still have some fabulous paintings to find homes for including one of his RED TRUCKS, the PARISIAN ROOFTOPS, a MARSH SCENE, a MAGNOLIA, and a downtown COLUMBIA scene! We have fewer than a dozen paintings under $1000 left, but we do have about 8 or 9 full-size wonderfully rendered and classically memorable figure paintings offered at an irresistible price - this is an extremely limited offer that you really don't want to miss! - Gallery closing continues through August
Posted by Lynn Sky on August 5, 2011
Our August hours will be Aug 5th - 27th, Wed-Sat 2-6pm.
We will be closed on September 2nd. At that date we will keep you updated as to the closing progress but we are winding down...
Please call the gallery to make sure we are open during these hours as we close out, if you are coming from out of town or need to pick something up!
Thank you to everyone who has come by! We are overwhelmed with the amount of inquiries and painting placements and very excited about being able to find good homes for so many of Blue Sky's world class paintings!

Posted by Lynn Sky on July 1, 2011
We will continue our Gallery Closing Clearance hours of Wed - Sat, 2-6pm until July 9th. Realistically, it will probably continue for another month or so, so we will keep you posted as it unfolds.... Thank you for your surpport! We look forward to seeing everyone come by and find a Blue Sky painting to enjoy for generations to come! - 30 Years and CLOSING
Posted by Lynn Sky on June 8, 2011
We are celebrating 30 years in the art gallery business this June by CLOSING. Our clearance hours will be Wednesday - Saturday, June 8th - June 30th, 2-6pm.
For those who want a Blue Sky painting, this may be the last chance to see a collection of his work, for purchase, altogether in one place.
Original sketches begin at $20 so we'd like to see everyone who comes by leave with something!
We've enjoyed presenting Columbia with museum quality art. The individual citizens of Columbia are to thank for their support of Blue Sky's work over the years and I'm sure they are thankful that Blue Sky's work is much appreciated around the world as well!
This has enabled us to have a gallery of his life's works available for all to view and thus has encouraged him to paint many more masterpieces of his home state and the world.
Blue Sky has solely made his living by sales of his fine art since 1970 - no small feat and a rarity in itself.
We Thank You.
But this is our Countdown.
