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.

About This Image
Location: Northern California Coast
I waited—quietly and patiently—as the storm rolled through, hoping for just a sliver of evening light to break through. For a long time, the sky stayed dark. But then, almost suddenly, the remaining clouds lit up, catching that soft golden glow.
And there it was—the lighthouse beacon shining strong, ready to guide sailors safely home.
A Guiding Light is a reflection of what it means to stay grounded through the storms of life. Sometimes, we’re just waiting for that one moment—the light that reminds us we’re still on course.

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.

Riley was very easy to work with and very accommodating to all of our questions and requests. We get a lot of compliments on our beautiful, one of a kind piece of art and are proud to display such a timeless image with his name on it.
