Sailing in the Bay — Coastal Wall Art Digital Download Print

About the Art

"Sailing in the Bay" is a serene coastal photograph by award-winning landscape photographer Melissa Fague. A lone white sailboat drifts across calm, glassy water while a classic lighthouse stands watch in the warm glow of a setting sun. The palette of soft blues, whites, and golden amber creates a mood that is both peaceful and quietly adventurous — the kind of image you want to come home to every day.

How to Print It Yourself

This is a DIY printable — you download the file and print it on your own timeline, at your preferred size. Here are a few tips to get the best results:

• Home printer: Print up to 8×10" on matte or semi-gloss photo paper for crisp color. Use the highest DPI setting available.
• Local print shop: Take the file to FedEx Office, Staples, or a local print shop for larger sizes (11×14", 16×20").
• Online print labs: Upload to Mpix, Shutterfly, Canva Print, or Costco Photo for professional-quality prints up to 24×36".
• Framing tip: Standard frame sizes (8×10, 11×14, 16×20, 18×24, 24×36) work perfectly — no cropping needed for this horizontal format.
• Canvas option: Many online labs (like CanvasChamp or Canvaspop) accept high-res JPEGs for canvas wraps — a beautiful upgrade for living rooms.
