Too Many Coinscidences: These kind of Mountains We Climb

I wanted to share this inside a blog because it is simply so very odd like that things happened with this particular painting and frame.
In 2008 Used to do a painting in support of just recently took it off through the stretcher bars. The painting was a strange size, so the stretcher bar frame just sat on the medial side from the studio. A month ago, I had a picture that we planned to paint, because I was thinking about life’s difficulties and can not overcome. The picture was of the mountain, even as are coming down from the top. I knew I want to it larger instead of perfectly square. The 26″ x 32″ stretcher bar frame worked great. Therefore i designed a canvas. I knew before hand that this painting was going to be called “These Mountains We Climb”.

I was just one or two hours involved with it around the first day. The second day, I took the painting with me for the beach and was able to loose the photo reference. I needed to finish the painting from memory. It absolutely was some epic struggle in memory!

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

But this is the location where the story gets interesting, the frame originated Christies ah. On the botton in 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 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, on the medial side in my studio.
2. “These Mountains We Climb” is a painting about our battles in daily life, your way over the shadows and mountain highs. Which has been a little bit element of the painting itself- having lost the reference!
3. It became of fit the frame we became of have down within the frame shop.
4. The Remington painting were regarding the decent down a mountain side, where in the title could be taken many different ways. Which coincided with mine, though hadn’t visit my knowledge until after the painting was completed and framed.
Sometimes it feels like either the “stars align” or that for reasons uknown, this frame was designed for this painting. Why?! We’ve no idea!! But there it really is! Incidentally, the label is attached to the back with the painting and you will be sold with the painting. Things don’t really ever happen this way- fun stuff!
