A lot of Coinscidences: These kind of Mountains We Climb

I planned to share this in a blog since it is simply so very odd like that things happened with this particular painting and frame.
In 2008 Used to a painting in support of recently took it off through the stretcher bars. The painting was an odd size, and so the stretcher bar frame just sat away and off to the medial side within the studio. A month ago, I needed a graphic which i wished to paint, since i was pondering life’s difficulties and helpless to overcome. The look was of the mountain, once we are coming down from the top. I knew I wanted it larger rather than perfectly square. The 26″ x 32″ stretcher bar frame worked great. So I made a canvas. I knew beforehand how the painting would definitely be called “These Mountains We Climb”.

I was only one or two hours with it around the first day. The other day, I took the painting beside me for the beach and were 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 been discussing frames and also this one out of particular that we had just acquired stumbled on mind. I ran as a result of the frame shop and LO! it fit! what an odd size!

But here is where the story gets interesting, the frame originated in Christies auction house. Around the botton in the frame was obviously a brass label. It had, alternatives 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 impressionism I had created carried out in the original 26″ x 32″ stretcher bars was called “Inspiration”, but was later removed plus they sat, waiting for new life, on the inside in my studio.
2. “These Mountains We Climb” can be a painting about our battles in your life, the journey from the shadows and mountain highs. Which was a bit an element of the painting itself- having lost the reference!
3. It became of fit the frame we became of have down from the frame shop.
4. The Remington painting been concerning the decent down a mountain side, whereby the title might be taken many different ways. Which coincided with mine, though we hadn’t arrived at my knowledge until following the painting was completed and framed.
Sometimes it feels like either the “stars align” or that i really enjoy seeing, this frame was designed for this painting. Why?! I have not a clue!! But there it’s! Incidentally, the label is attached to the back with the painting and you will be sold together with the painting. Things don’t really ever happen this way- fun stuff!
