Way too many Coinscidences: These Mountains We Climb

I wanted to share this inside a blog which is so that very odd like that things happened with this painting and frame.
In 2008 Used to a painting and only just recently removed it from your stretcher bars. The painting was a bizarre size, and so the stretcher bar frame just sat on the inside within the studio. Two to three weeks ago, I had an image that we desired to paint, since i was pondering life’s difficulties and incapable of overcome. The style was of a mountain, even as we are decreasing through the top. I knew I wanted it larger and not perfectly square. The 26″ x 32″ stretcher bar frame worked great. I really designed a canvas. I knew beforehand the painting would certainly be called “These Mountains We Climb”.

I only agreed to be a few hours in it for the first day. The 2nd day, I took the painting beside me to the beach and been able to loose the photo reference. I needed to finish the painting from memory. It absolutely was a bit of an epic struggle in memory!

We were discussing frames which one inch particular that people had just acquired stumbled on mind. I ran right down to the frame shop and LO! it fit! what an odd size!

But here’s in which the story gets interesting, the frame originated from Christies ah. Around the botton from 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’d carried out in the main 26″ x 32″ stretcher bars was called “Inspiration”, but was later removed and they sat, awaiting new life, on the inside in my studio.
2. “These Mountains We Climb” can be a painting about our battles in your life, the journey over the shadows and mountain highs. That was slightly element of the painting itself- having lost the reference!
3. It happened to fit the frame that people happened to have down within the frame shop.
4. The Remington painting were concerning the decent down a mountain side, whereby the title could possibly be taken more than one way. Which coincided with mine, though had not come to my knowledge until after the painting was completed and framed.
Sometimes it seems like either the “stars align” or that i really enjoy seeing, this frame was created for this painting. Why?! I have little idea!! But there it’s! Incidentally, the label is connected to the back of the painting and will also be sold together with the painting. Things don’t really ever happen this way- fun stuff!
