Lots of Coinscidences: These kinds of Mountains We Climb

I wanted to share this in the blog because it is just so very odd this way things happened with this painting and frame.
In 2008 Used to do a painting in support of just removed it in the stretcher bars. The painting was an odd size, and so the stretcher bar frame just sat off and away to the inside in the studio. Two to three weeks ago, I had a picture which i planned to paint, because I was thinking of life’s difficulties and struggling to overcome. The image was of your mountain, once we are coming down in the top. I knew I desired it larger and not perfectly square. The 26″ x 32″ stretcher bar frame worked great. I really created a canvas. I knew beforehand the painting would be called “These Mountains We Climb”.

I was simply a couple hours with it around the first day. The 2nd day, I took the painting beside me on 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 were discussing frames which one inch particular that individuals had just acquired found mind. I ran right down to the frame shop and LO! it fit! how much an odd size!

But this is in which the story gets interesting, the frame originated Christies ah. About the botton with the frame would be a brass label. It had, up to now 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 done in the initial 26″ x 32″ stretcher bars was called “Inspiration”, but was later removed and so they sat, awaiting new life, on the medial side in my studio.
2. “These Mountains We Climb” is a painting about our battles in your life, right onto your pathway with the shadows and mountain highs. That has been a bit an element of the painting itself- having lost the reference!
3. It happened to fit the frame that individuals became of have down within the frame shop.
4. The Remington painting was about the decent down a mountain side, whereby the title may be taken many different ways. Which coincided with mine, though had not visit my knowledge until after the painting was completed and framed.
Sometimes it seems like either the “stars align” or that for whatever reason, this frame was intended for this painting. Why?! I’ve little idea!! But there it can be! Incidentally, the label is connected 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!
