Pictures in the Sky is the second solo album by songwriter Rich Mullins and was released in 1987 on Reunion Records.

The single "Screen Door" became a concert favorite. Mullins wrote the song in Chattanooga on a trip to Knoxville, originally intending it to write a limerick.[1] When performing "Screen Door" in concert, Mullins and his band would sing the lyrics and create the song's unique rhythm by hitting plastic cups on a table in a synchronized pattern.[2]
