Desert Blumes

Sale price $100.00 USD

Growing up in Las Vegas, Valley of Fire State Park has always held a special place in my heart. It’s one of the easiest escapes from the city—a place where you can trade neon lights for towering red sandstone and endless desert skies.

As a photographer, I find myself drawn back here again and again. There’s something timeless about this rugged landscape, especially when spring rolls around.

Spring in the desert is tricky.

The wildflower bloom is short-lived and entirely dependent on the rare blessing of winter moisture. Most years, it comes and goes before anyone even notices. But when the conditions align, something magical happens—the desert, usually quiet and subdued, bursts into color.

Hunting for these desert blossoms has become one of my favorite seasonal challenges. It's not just about finding the flowers, but finding them in the right light, in the right place, at just the right moment.

On this particular evening, after wandering off the beaten path, I stumbled across this beautiful patch of beavertail cactus in full bloom. The vibrant pink blossoms were absolutely glowing against the soft, red earth and golden hour sky. It felt like discovering a secret. One that’s only visible to those willing to slow down and look closely.

This image, Desert Blumes, captures one of those fleeting, perfect moments—when life breaks through the harshness of the desert and reminds you that beauty is always waiting, even in the most unexpected places.

Art Sizing Tips

If you’re unsure where to start, here are a few simple guidelines to help you choose the perfect size for your space.

Each piece is available in multiple sizes — from small, intimate prints to large-scale collector editions — so you can find the right balance of presence and proportion.

12×18" – Classic

  • Ideal for smaller rooms, offices, or gallery wall groupings.
  • Works beautifully as part of a set or to fill narrow wall spaces.

16×24" – Showcase

  • A versatile “just right” size — substantial but not overwhelming.
  • Fits well above desks, dressers, or side tables.

    *The most popular starting size among new collectors.

24×36" – Collector

  • True gallery proportions — perfect for high ceilings or wide walls.
  • Commands attention above a sofa, bed, or dining area.
  • Offers dramatic impact without feeling oversized.

Overall the most popular size

32x45" – Statement

  • Collector Edition scale — deep, immersive, and museum-like in presence.
  • Ideal for spacious walls, statement entries, or great rooms.
  • The larger frame profile and mat depth give it exceptional weight and dimension.

40×60" – Gallery (Metal Only)

  • Architectural presence — designed for large, open spaces or commercial environments.
  • Creates a sense of awe and connection — the landscape becomes the room.
  • Typically installed as a centerpiece or custom statement commission.

Production Timelines

Each piece is made to order, handcrafted with care, and created using archival materials. Estimated arrival dates shown at checkout already include these production timelines.

Paper & Canvas Prints

  • Production Time: 2–3 business days
  • Printed on museum-grade materials and inspected for color and quality before shipping.

Returns or Exchanges

Every piece is made to order, inspected by hand, and packaged for safe delivery.

If your artwork arrives damaged or with a production flaw, I’ll replace or remake it at no cost.

From My Lens to Your Wall.

When you collect a piece from Riley Clark Fine Art, you're not buying mass-produced décor or gallery-inflated prints. You're getting something real—photographic art created from actual moments I've experienced in the wild.

Every image was captured with intention, often after long hikes, early mornings, or chance encounters with nature's beauty. And because I sell directly to you, there's no middleman markup—just high-quality fine art, thoughtfully printed and personally shared.

By collecting here, you’re supporting an independent artist and bringing home a story—not just a scene.
