Lots of Coinscidences: These kind of Mountains We Climb

I planned to share this inside a blog which is simply so very odd that way things happened using this type of painting and frame.
In 2008 Used to do a painting and just just lately took it off through the stretcher bars. The painting was a bizarre size, so the stretcher bar frame just sat off to the inside within the studio. A month ago, I had created a photo that we planned to paint, since i was considering life’s difficulties and incapable of overcome. The style was of your mountain, even as are coming down from the top. I knew I desired it larger rather than perfectly square. The 26″ x 32″ stretcher bar frame worked great. I really developed a canvas. I knew ahead of time that this painting was going to be called “These Mountains We Climb”.

I was just a few hours with it on the first day. The second day, I took the painting with me to the beach and was 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 and this one inch particular that individuals had just acquired came to mind. I ran down to the frame shop and LO! it fit! how much of an odd size!

But here is where the story gets interesting, the frame originated from Christies ah. About the botton of the frame was a brass label. It had, until recently 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 main 26″ x 32″ stretcher bars was called “Inspiration”, but was later removed and they also sat, expecting 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 daily life, your journey over the shadows and mountain highs. That has been a bit element of the painting itself- having lost the reference!
3. It happened to fit the frame that we happened to have down within the frame shop.
4. The Remington painting happened to be in regards to the decent down a mountain side, wherein the title could be taken many different ways. Which coincided with mine, though had not visit my knowledge until as soon as the painting was completed and framed.
Sometimes it feels as though either the “stars align” or that for reasons unknown, this frame was created for this painting. Why?! We have no idea!! But there it can be! Incidentally, the label is linked to the back of the painting and are sold together with the painting. Things don’t really ever happen this way- fun stuff!
