Lots of Coinscidences: These types of Mountains We Climb

I wanted to share this in the blog which is so that very odd like that things happened using this painting and frame.
In 2008 I did so a painting and only just recently removed it in the stretcher bars. The painting was an unusual size, and the stretcher bar frame just sat off to the medial side from the studio. A month ago, I had created a photo that I wished to paint, because I was considering life’s difficulties and can not overcome. The image was of a mountain, even as are decreasing from your top. I knew I needed it larger rather than perfectly square. The 26″ x 32″ stretcher bar frame worked great. I really made a canvas. I knew before hand the painting was going to be called “These Mountains We Climb”.

I was only one or two hours in it for the first day. The second day, I took the painting with me on the beach and been able to loose the photo reference. I needed to finish the painting from memory. It absolutely was a bit of an epic struggle in memory!

We happened to be discussing frames which one inch particular that individuals had just acquired located mind. I ran down to the frame shop and LO! it fit! how much an odd size!

But here is where the story gets interesting, the frame originated from Christies ah. Around the botton of the frame would have been a brass label. It had, up to now 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 carried out in the first 26″ x 32″ stretcher bars was called “Inspiration”, but was later removed plus they sat, awaiting new life, away and off to the medial side in my studio.
2. “These Mountains We Climb” is a painting about our battles in your life, your way with the shadows and mountain highs. Which has been a bit included in the painting itself- having lost the reference!
3. It happened to fit the frame that people became of have down inside the frame shop.
4. The Remington painting happened to be in regards to the decent down a mountain side, where in the title might be taken many different ways. Which coincided with mine, though had not arrive at my knowledge until after the painting was completed and framed.
Sometimes it feels as though either the “stars align” or that for reasons uknown, this frame was intended for this painting. Why?! I’ve no idea!! But there it really is! Incidentally, the label is connected to the back with the painting and are sold with all the painting. Things don’t really ever happen this way- fun stuff!
