Lots of Coinscidences: These kind of Mountains We Climb

I wished to share this in a blog because it is so very odd this way things happened with this particular painting and frame.
In 2008 Used to a painting and just recently took it off from your stretcher bars. The painting was an odd size, and the stretcher bar frame just sat on the medial side within the studio. 2-3 weeks ago, I needed an image i planned to paint, since i was thinking about life’s difficulties and struggling to overcome. The image was of your mountain, once we are decreasing in the top. I knew I want to it larger and never perfectly square. The 26″ x 32″ stretcher bar frame was very successful. Therefore i created a canvas. I knew before hand that the painting was going to be called “These Mountains We Climb”.

I was only a couple hours with it around the first day. The other day, I took the painting with me at night to the beach and been able to loose the photo reference. I had to finish the painting from memory. It was some epic struggle in memory!

We was discussing frames and also this one in particular that people had just acquired located mind. I ran right down to the frame shop and LO! it fit! what an odd size!

But here is in which the story gets interesting, the frame came from Christies auction house. For the botton in the frame was 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 impressionism I’d carried out the main 26″ x 32″ stretcher bars was called “Inspiration”, but was later removed and they also sat, awaiting new life, off and away to along side it in my studio.
2. “These Mountains We Climb” is really a painting about our battles in life, the journey through the shadows and mountain highs. Which was slightly a part of the painting itself- having lost the reference!
3. It became of fit the frame that individuals became of have down from the frame shop.
4. The Remington painting was regarding the decent down a mountain side, wherein the title might be taken more than one way. Which coincided with mine, though hadn’t visit my knowledge until as soon as the painting was completed and framed.
Sometimes it feels like either the “stars align” or that i really enjoy seeing, this frame was intended for this painting. Why?! I have no clue!! But there it can be! Incidentally, the label is attached to the back in the painting and you will be sold together with the painting. Things don’t really ever happen this way- fun stuff!
