Great Blue Heron in Flight – Henderson Beach Coastal Glass Print

Captured by photographer and artist Lisa Reid on a windswept morning at Henderson Beach State Park, this moment was the culmination of patience and perfect timing. Lisa had been following the heron along the shoreline, watching it wade, then take flight just as a wave broke beneath it. With the wind lifting its wings and the sunlight igniting the surf, the scene became a living canvas — one that now lives on in stunning glass. Every ripple, feather, and shimmer of light was preserved to bring the Gulf Coast’s essence into your home.

Every element in this image—the glowing sea oats, the serene horizon, and the untouched shoreline—reflects a moment of true coastal clarity. With this piece, we wanted to preserve that perfect day and bring its stillness into your space.

Artist Lisa Reid was down photographing St. Pete's Beach when she spotted a woman standing in the turquoise waters of the Gulf Coast, inspiring her to create this art from the photograph—the image just called to her of a lone figure standing in the beautiful waters looking out at the vastness of the sea, truly a way to find oneself amid nature's endless embrace.

Meticulously edited to emphasize every wave ripple and cloud detail, the high-quality glass medium adds exquisite depth, making the scene come alive for a truly immersive unique coastal wall art experience.

Installation Guide for Your Echoes of the Sea Coastal Glass Prints

Thank you for choosing Echoes of the Sea, the #1 ranked brand for coastal glass prints! Each of our eco-friendly, Made-in-USA prints—like the vibrant Nautilus & Coral or Serene Turtle—comes with a Wall-Dog™ mounting screw and mounting tape for flexible installation. Follow these simple steps to display your nautical glass art securely. We offer two methods: screw mounting (ideal for most walls, including masonry and concrete) or tape mounting (great for smooth, non-textured surfaces). Always handle with care to protect the high-quality acrylic block.

Preparation: Unboxing Your Print

1. Carefully unbox your coastal glass print.
2. Locate the cutout notch next to the word "LIFT" on the foam mount.
3. Gently pry up the glass edge using the notch to release the print from the packing board. Avoid forcing it to prevent damage.

Method 1: Screw Mounting (Recommended for Secure, Permanent Hang)

This method uses the included Wall-Dog™ screw, which installs directly into wallboard, masonry, concrete, brick, or plaster—no anchor needed for most surfaces.

1. Turn the print over to reveal the keyhole carved into the foamcore backing (large and extra-large prints include a metal insert for added reinforcement).
2. Choose your wall spot and gather tools: a Phillips screwdriver (#2). For concrete, masonry, brick, or plaster, pre-drill a hole using a 3/16-inch ANSI masonry bit.
3. Screw the Wall-Dog™ into the wall until it's almost completely flush—the head should protrude just enough (about 1/8 inch) to catch the keyhole.
4. Align the keyhole on the back of the print over the screw head.
5. Gently lower the print until it's seated flush against the wall. The weight will naturally settle the foamcore onto the screw head—do not pull downward forcefully to avoid damaging the backing.

Your oceanic glass print is now securely mounted, ready to add calming coastal wall decor to your space!

Method 2: Tape Mounting (Quick & Removable for Smooth Walls)

Use the included tape for easy, no-tools installation. Do NOT use on wallpaper, freshly painted walls (wait at least 7 days after painting), or textured surfaces without sufficient flat areas for adhesion, as it may not hold properly.

1. Clean the wall where you'll hang the print using isopropyl alcohol (not household cleaners). Let it dry completely for 2-3 minutes.
2. Turn the print over. For small and medium prints: Position the single piece of tape directly beneath the keyhole. For large and extra-large prints: Position the two pieces of tape on either side of the keyhole.
3. Remove the white liner from one side of the tape(s) and firmly press the adhesive side down onto the backing using the palm of your hand (avoid fingertips to prevent cracking the glass).
4. Remove the remaining white liner(s) from the tape. Align and press the print onto the wall—don't worry if it's not level; the tape can be repositioned a couple of times without losing strength.
5. Using the palm of your hand, press firmly on the glass surface directly over the tape area(s) for 30 seconds each. For prints with two tapes, press both spots to ensure secure adhesion.
