Too Many Coinscidences: These types of Mountains We Climb

I desired to share this inside a blog which is so that very odd doing this things happened using this painting and frame.
In 2008 I did so a painting and just recently took it off from the stretcher bars. The painting was an odd size, and the stretcher bar frame just sat off and away to the medial side in the studio. Two to three weeks ago, I had a graphic that we wished to paint, since i was thinking about life’s difficulties and struggling to overcome. The look was of a mountain, even as we are coming down from your top. I knew I wanted it larger rather than perfectly square. The 26″ x 32″ stretcher bar frame was very successful. Therefore i made a canvas. I knew ahead of time that the painting was going to be called “These Mountains We Climb”.

I was just one or two hours into it around the first day. The next day, I took the painting with me for the beach and was able to loose the photo reference. I needed to finish the painting from memory. It absolutely was some epic struggle in memory!

We was discussing frames this also one out of particular that people had just acquired stumbled on mind. I ran right down to the frame shop and LO! it fit! how much an odd size!

But here’s the location where the story gets interesting, the frame originated Christies ah. For the botton in the frame would be a brass label. It had, as yet framed a painting by Frederic Remington, called “The Way Down” and featured a string of pack mules descending a mountain side.

Sound strange!?
1. The Classical impressionist artist I had created carried out the first 26″ x 32″ stretcher bars was called “Inspiration”, but was later removed plus they sat, looking forward to new life, away and off to the side in my studio.
2. “These Mountains We Climb” is a painting about our battles in everyday life, your journey over the shadows and mountain highs. Which has been somewhat an element of the painting itself- having lost the reference!
3. It happened to fit the frame that people happened to have down within the frame shop.
4. The Remington painting was in regards to the decent down a mountain side, where in the title could possibly be taken more than one way. Which coincided with mine, though hadn’t arrive at my knowledge until following the painting was completed and framed.
Sometimes it seems like either the “stars align” or that i really enjoy seeing, this frame was meant for this painting. Why?! I have no idea!! But there it can be! Incidentally, the label is coupled to the back from the painting and are sold using the painting. Things don’t really ever happen this way- fun stuff!
