Graceful Heron Beach Scene – Coastal Glass Wall Art

Photographer Lisa Reid often encounters great blue herons during her evening walks along Florida’s Gulf Coast. On this particular night, one paused in the shifting surf—still as a sculpture, surrounded by lacy tide foam. Lisa was struck by the sense of calm the bird projected, almost like it was performing a silent dance across the shoreline.

The moment felt meditative—grace held in suspension. It wasn’t until she reviewed the images later that she noticed the faint silhouette of the heron echoed in the soft wet sand—a subtle detail that made the composition even more poetic.

Lisa created this coastal glass print to share that moment of presence and serenity with others. The result is a refined piece of coastal wall art that blends natural beauty with minimalist design—perfect for those seeking sophisticated coastal pictures with a soulful touch.

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).

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.

Enjoy your seaside glass print's vibrant glow—it's now perfectly placed for beach-inspired elegance!

Keep your Echoes of the Sea coastal glass prints sparkling like Florida sands with these simple cleaning tips! As the #1 ranked brand for coastal glass prints, we make maintenance a breeze for your beach house artwork.

Use Windex or any glass cleaner on the surface only—avoid the reverse side to protect the vibrant nautical glass art.

Grab two paper towels or microfiber cloths: spray one with cleaner, keep the other dry. Gently wipe with the wet one, then buff away moisture with the dry cloth for smudge-free shine. All done—it's that easy!

Fun Fact: Glass has been used in art for over 4,000 years, just like our timeless coastal prints bring ancient ocean vibes to modern beachy decor.

Perfect for seaside glass prints in any space, ensuring your eco-friendly oceanic glass prints stay pristine and inviting.

Let this heron wall art center your space in quiet beauty. Ideal for:

• think seafoam greens, driftwood grays, soft sky blues, ivory, and sand
  
• rattan chairs, woven baskets, soft linen or gauze curtains
  
• place it above a bench in an entryway, anchor it above a low dresser in a coastal bedroom, or use it to balance out metallic or glass finishes in a modern coastal kitchen.
  
• For gallery walls, pair with artwork in similar blue and gray tones or black-and-white marine photography. A matte black floating shelf or a light oak wood ledge creates just the right contrast.
