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. When performed in concert, Mullins and band would sing the lyrics and perform the song's unique rhythm by hitting plastic cups on a table in a synchronized pattern.[1]
