Way too many Coinscidences: These kinds of Mountains We Climb

I planned to share this within a blog because it’s so that very odd doing this things happened with this painting and frame.
In 2008 Used to do a painting in support of just lately removed it through the stretcher bars. The painting was a strange size, and the stretcher bar frame just sat on the side in the studio. 2-3 weeks ago, I had created a photo that I wanted to paint, because I was thinking of life’s difficulties and can not overcome. The image was of the mountain, once we are decreasing through the top. I knew I desired it larger instead of perfectly square. The 26″ x 32″ stretcher bar frame worked well. And so i developed a canvas. I knew beforehand how the painting would definitely be called “These Mountains We Climb”.

I was just a few hours involved with it around the first day. The other day, I took the painting with me to the beach and were able to loose the photo reference. I needed to finish the painting from memory. It had been a bit of an epic struggle in memory!

We happened to be discussing frames this also one inch particular that people had just acquired stumbled on mind. I ran as a result of the frame shop and LO! it fit! how much of an odd size!

But here’s the location where the story gets interesting, the frame came from Christies ah. Around the botton with the frame would be 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 Jessica Henry I’d carried out in the main 26″ x 32″ stretcher bars was called “Inspiration”, but was later removed and they also sat, looking forward to new life, off and away to the side in my studio.
2. “These Mountains We Climb” is really a painting about our battles in life, your journey with the shadows and mountain highs. Which was a little bit element of the painting itself- having lost the reference!
3. It happened to fit the frame that we happened to have down inside the frame shop.
4. The Remington painting happened to be regarding the decent down a mountain side, where in the title may be taken many different ways. Which coincided with mine, though had not arrived at my knowledge until as soon as the painting was completed and framed.
Sometimes it feels as though either the “stars align” or that i really enjoy seeing, this frame was meant for this painting. Why?! I have little idea!! But there it’s! Incidentally, the label is connected to the back from the painting and will be sold together with the painting. Things don’t really ever happen this way- fun stuff!
