Way too many Coinscidences: These types of Mountains We Climb

I desired to share this in a blog because it’s so that very odd that way things happened with this painting and frame.
In 2008 Used to do a painting in support of just recently took it off from your stretcher bars. The painting was a bizarre size, therefore, the stretcher bar frame just sat on along side it inside the studio. 2-3 weeks ago, I had created a photo which i wished to paint, because I was considering life’s difficulties and can not overcome. The picture was of a mountain, even as are decreasing through the top. I knew I desired it larger rather than perfectly square. The 26″ x 32″ stretcher bar frame was very beneficial. So I created a canvas. I knew before hand how the painting would certainly be called “These Mountains We Climb”.

I was only a couple hours with it around the first day. The other day, I took the painting beside me for the beach and were able to loose the photo reference. I had to finish the painting from memory. It was some epic struggle in memory!

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

But here’s the location where the story gets interesting, the frame originated from Christies auction house. For the botton with the frame would have been 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 needed carried out the main 26″ x 32″ stretcher bars was called “Inspiration”, but was later removed and so they sat, expecting new life, away and off to the side in my studio.
2. “These Mountains We Climb” is often a painting about our battles in life, right onto your pathway from the shadows and mountain highs. That has been slightly element of the painting itself- having lost the reference!
3. It became of fit the frame we became of have down inside the frame shop.
4. The Remington painting been about the decent down a mountain side, whereby the title could be taken more than one way. Which coincided with mine, though we hadn’t arrive at my knowledge until as soon as the painting was completed and framed.
Sometimes it feels as though either the “stars align” or that i really enjoy seeing, this frame was meant for this painting. Why?! I have not a clue!! But there it is! Incidentally, the label is linked to the back with the painting and are sold with all the painting. Things don’t really ever happen this way- fun stuff!
