Growing Toward the Sun , Original Artwork
Growing Toward the Sun, by Alanah Jarvis
Part of the Weathered Nature Series, Growing Toward the Sun is a celebration of optimism, resilience, and the quiet instinct to keep reaching for light.
Layers of weathered soft sage and deep forest green create an earthy, timeworn landscape, while touches of white and warm golden yellow emerge like sunlight finding its way through dense growth. Scraped textures, softened marks, and shifting areas of colour give the painting the feeling of a surface shaped by nature, carrying traces of rain, wind, stone and changing seasons.
There is an uplifting energy beneath its rugged texture. The golden details seem to rise through the cooler greens, bringing a sense of warmth, possibility and renewal. Growing Toward the Sun is a reminder that growth does not need to be perfect or hurried. Sometimes happiness is found simply by continuing to turn toward what brings us light.
For a more refined presentation, this piece pairs beautifully with the gallery’s Priority Framing option. A considered frame adds structure to the raw, weathered texture of the work, giving it a finished presence while still allowing the natural movement and depth of the painting to remain the focus. It’s a simple way to elevate the piece, making it feel at home in both modern and rustic spaces.

We use 4.5 cm thick timber mouldings, made of sustainable hardwood.
To enhance the presentation, we utilize the gallery wrap technique, where approximately 1 cm of the canvas print is wrapped around the stretcher bars on each side, ensuring a seamless and polished finish.
A subtle 5 mm gap between the canvas and the frame creates a striking floating effect, giving the artwork a sense of depth and prominence.
The canvas is expertly stretched over a wooden stretcher bar and mounted within a shadow box floating frame.

We will remove any "white border" around the wall art, as the "white borders" are designed for framed artwork only.
