FRAMING INFORMATION
1st Art Gallery offers the option to receive your painting ready to hang or rolled in a tube.
Currently, for safety, we're able to ship framed paintings only up to a certain size. Once the maximum size is reached, the framing option is automatically disabled.
However, if you are interested in stretching or framing a painting larger than 24x36 inches (60x90 cm), please contact one of our customer success associates or let us know in your order notes. We will send you a catalog of our large framing styles and pricing options.
Unframed rolled canvas orders will arrive rolled inside a protective tube with an extra 1.5" white canvas on all sides so you can easily frame it locally.
Vincent Van Gogh moved to Arles in 1888, at the end of a harsh winter. At the beginning of spring, the artist rushes to portray the trees that are in bloom and with fruit. During this year, he paints a series of landscapes with the joyful and radiant colors of the exciting season. The White Orchard is one of the paintings he concluded during this period and is meant to be a triptych with Pink Peach Tree in Blossom and The Pink Orchard.
The modern painter had an ornamental view of these paintings and thought they would bring attention to possible buyers. Like the other Impressionists and Post-Impressionists, Van Gogh painted en plein air, meaning he painted outside to capture the optical effects the natural light had on the landscape. Since he only painted on location, he had to finish the painting quickly as the trees in bloom changed rapidly. In fact, he finished many of these plein air paintings in one sitting.
Van Gogh makes the composition of the painting guide the viewer's eyes from the two most significant trees to the tangled branches on top. The lines made by flowers on the grass guides the viewer to the horizon. The artist loved old trees that weren't maintained, as they have more detail and story to them. The intelligent use of color makes this painting look precious, as the trees seem to sparkle in the sun. The grass is mainly green, but have areas of red, yellow, blue and pink. The dark brown tree trunks painted in the forefront portray the same colors, and the tree trunks in the background are mostly simplified with shades of blue, green and red.
The bright colors used in the treetops are the highlight of the painting, as Van Gogh used yellow, white, and blue specks to paint the blooming flowers. Because of how busy the whole scene is with detail; the artist paints a simple and light sky — not drawing attention away from the central figures. The dark contours and the bright colors come as an inspiration from the Japanese wood prints Van Gogh admired and collected, just as many European modern painters did at the time. The painter was very proud of the results he achieved in The White Orchard and the other paintings of this series.

If you are planning to frame your painting yourself, use an existing frame, or frame it locally, you may choose to order your painting with a stretching service, meaning that it will arrive mounted on wooden bars.
If you're considering not framing your painting at all, you may opt for a Gallery Wrap. The term Gallery Wrap refers to the way the canvas is stretched, which is by wrapping it around thick stretcher bars, about 1.5 inch thick, with the canvas being secured to the back rather than the sides of those bars.
All orders ship with UPS, FedEx or DHL and will arrive directly to your home or office. A tracking number will be emailed to you as soon as the order leaves our studio so you can track it online. All orders ship express and usually arrive within 4-5 days from the shipping date. Due to shipping restraints, many of our framed, stretched, and oversize paintings may take 6-21 days for arrival depending on the safest route determined by the postal service.

Stretched, Gallery Wrapped and Framed paintings are covered with protective bubble wrap, separated by foam board and then carefully put into the cardboard box.
