Must Be Happiness by Alanah Jarvis, is a warm, expressive abstract painting layered with soft blush pinks, buttery yellows, earthy ochres and creamy whites. Built through intuitive palette knife and brushwork, the piece carries a sense of movement and ease , like sunlight moving across a room late in the afternoon.

There’s an uplifting quality to this work without it feeling loud. The textured layers create depth and softness at the same time, giving the painting a calm, lived with energy that brings warmth into a space. Hints of muted sage and rich earthy tones ground the lighter colours, creating balance and a feeling of quiet optimism.

Designed to complement warm neutral interiors, this piece pairs beautifully with natural timber, linen textures and soft organic styling.

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.
