Lots of Coinscidences: These kind of Mountains We Climb

I wished to share this inside a blog because it’s so very odd doing this things happened with this painting and frame.
In 2008 Used to a painting and just just recently took it off from your stretcher bars. The painting was an odd size, therefore, the stretcher bar frame just sat off and away to the medial side from the studio. A month ago, I’d an image that I wanted to paint, since i was thinking of life’s difficulties and helpless to overcome. The style was of an mountain, even as we are coming down in the top. I knew I needed it larger and not perfectly square. The 26″ x 32″ stretcher bar frame was very beneficial. And so i designed a canvas. I knew before hand that the painting would certainly be called “These Mountains We Climb”.

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

We were discussing frames this also one in particular that individuals had just acquired located mind. I ran as a result of the frame shop and LO! it fit! how much an odd size!

But here is where the story gets interesting, the frame originated in Christies auction house. On the botton of the frame would be 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 Jessica Henry I needed carried out the first 26″ x 32″ stretcher bars was called “Inspiration”, but was later removed and so they sat, awaiting new life, off to the medial side in my studio.
2. “These Mountains We Climb” can be a painting about our battles in everyday life, the journey over the shadows and mountain highs. Which was a little bit included in the painting itself- having lost the reference!
3. It became of fit the frame that people became of have down from the frame shop.
4. The Remington painting been regarding the decent down a mountain side, whereby the title could be taken many different ways. Which coincided with mine, though we had not arrive at my knowledge until after the painting was completed and framed.
Sometimes it feels like either the “stars align” or that for reasons unknown, this frame was designed for this painting. Why?! We have not a clue!! But there it’s! Incidentally, the label is coupled to the back from the painting and you will be sold with all the painting. Things don’t really ever happen this way- fun stuff!
