A lot of Coinscidences: These kind of Mountains We Climb

I wished to share this within a blog because it is so that very odd that way things happened using this type of painting and frame.
In 2008 Used to a painting and only just recently took it off from the stretcher bars. The painting was a strange size, and the stretcher bar frame just sat off and away to the medial side within the studio. Two to three weeks ago, I had an image which i wanted to paint, since i was considering life’s difficulties and helpless to overcome. The style was of a mountain, even as we are coming down through the top. I knew I desired it larger and not perfectly square. The 26″ x 32″ stretcher bar frame worked great. And so i made a canvas. I knew beforehand the painting would definitely be called “These Mountains We Climb”.

I was only one or two hours with it about the first day. The other day, I took the painting with me at night for the beach and been able to loose the photo reference. I had to finish the painting from memory. It was a bit of an epic struggle in memory!

We happened to be discussing frames and this one in particular that people had just acquired found mind. I ran right down to the frame shop and LO! it fit! how much of an odd size!

But this is the location where the story gets interesting, the frame originated from Christies ah. For the botton in the frame would be 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 Jessica Henry I had created done in the initial 26″ x 32″ stretcher bars was called “Inspiration”, but was later removed and they also sat, awaiting new life, away and off to the medial side in my studio.
2. “These Mountains We Climb” is really a painting about our battles in everyday life, right onto your pathway with the shadows and mountain highs. Which was slightly element of the painting itself- having lost the reference!
3. It happened to fit the frame we became of have down in the frame shop.
4. The Remington painting were concerning the decent down a mountain side, wherein the title may be taken many different ways. Which coincided with mine, though we had not arrive at my knowledge until following your painting was completed and framed.
Sometimes it feels like either the “stars align” or that for whatever reason, this frame was created for this painting. Why?! We’ve no idea!! But there it really is! Incidentally, the label is linked to the back of the painting and will be sold using the painting. Things don’t really ever happen this way- fun stuff!
