Which size is right for your space?
When in doubt, go bigger than you think—undersized art is the most common mistake. The print should fill about ⅔ the width of the furniture beneath it.

About this photograph
As I stood near the foot of Bass Harbor Light near the water, the last rays of daylight danced across the sky, casting a warm glow on the approaching storm clouds. The lighthouse, a steadfast sentinel, stood proudly against the rocky coastline, its red beacon beginning to flicker to life. I felt the cool breeze brush against my skin, carrying the salty scent of the ocean, and I knew I had to capture this moment. The interplay of light and shadow created a magical scene, one that I was eager to preserve.
Bass Harbor Head Light sits at the southernmost tip of Mount Desert Island, perched on rocky cliffs above the water. Blue hour, the sun having set, but still some color and light in the storm clouds, creating ideal dramatic conditions—that contrast between warm light on the lighthouse and dark weather approaching from offshore.
The red beacon was beginning its evening cycle, adding a small but important point of warm light to anchor the composition. Positioning near the water's edge allowed me to include small tidal pools reflecting the light of the red beacon above, and the foreground rocks, with their textures and tidal patterns, providing scale and leading your eye up to the lighthouse on the cliff above.
The challenge was balancing exposure across a wide tonal range: bright sky where light was breaking through, dark storm clouds, shadowed rocks, and the white lighthouse tower. The shifting light kept changing the scene, requiring quick adjustments as clouds broke across the landscape.
Storm light and dramatic sky create tension and atmosphere while emphasizing the lighthouse's sentinel role.
Imagine waking up to the serene beauty of Bass Harbor Light every morning. This piece doesn't just capture a moment; it invites you into a world where the raw power of nature meets human perseverance. The interplay of stormy blues and soft pinks creates a visual symphony that will transform your space into a coastal retreat. It's not just art; it's an escape, a daily reminder of the beauty that exists in the world, waiting for you to explore.
Based on the captivating image of Bass Harbor Light in Maine, I've selected a few complementary wall paint colors that would beautifully enhance the artwork's atmosphere:
These colors work well because they echo the serene blues, soft pinks, and misty grays present in the image. They create a cohesive palette that captures the essence of the coastal scene without overpowering the artwork.

About Dave
I create landscape photography for contemporary interiors where visual quality matters. My focus is dramatic environments—deserts, coastlines, forests, ancient architecture, night skies—photographed with deliberate composition and attention to craft. I'm selective about what I show. This collection represents a small percentage of what I shoot—work chosen for compositional strength and the ability to reward sustained viewing. These are images designed to live on your walls for years, not months.
