Flamingo Line Art in Hokusai Waves – Coastal Nursery Wall Art

Creating the Flamingo Line Art Glass Print

Artist Lisa Reid began this striking piece with a playful hand-drawn pencil sketch, inspired by the bold, quirky elegance of flamingos and the eternal rhythm of ocean waves. While visiting the Florida coast, Lisa observed how these flamboyant birds seem both out of place and perfectly at home—wading through surf with a mix of grace and whimsy. That contradiction became the heart of the composition.

Once the sketch was scanned into her digital studio, Lisa meticulously refined the linework—tracing every feather, bend, and curve with a stylized flourish that echoes traditional Japanese woodblock prints. The cresting waves took direct inspiration from Hokusai’s iconic Great Wave, but with a playful twist: curling forms and exaggerated motion create a sense of movement that feels alive and animated, as if the flamingo were striking a pose mid-dance.

Color was layered with intention—sun-warmed pinks and corals on the flamingo pop against cool teals and soft seafoam blues, giving the print a punchy but polished palette. Lisa leaned into flat color fields and crisp outlines to give the piece a modern Art Nouveau edge—one that works as both refined wall art and joyful beachy decor.

The result is a whimsical yet sophisticated piece of flamingo coastal wall art, perfect for everything from a bright bathroom to a child's room or colorful coastal nursery. Printed on premium frameless glass with UV-resistant inks, this artwork transforms light and line into a vibrant coastal celebration—one that lets your walls ride the waves with elegance and fun.

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.
