I wished to share this within a blog since it is just so very odd doing this things happened with this particular painting and frame.
In 2008 Used to a painting and only just lately removed it from the stretcher bars. The painting was an unusual size, and so the stretcher bar frame just sat away and off to the medial side from the studio. 2-3 weeks ago, I’d an image i planned to paint, because I was considering life’s difficulties and incapable of overcome. The look was of the mountain, once we are decreasing in the top. I knew I desired it larger instead of perfectly square. The 26″ x 32″ stretcher bar frame worked great. And so i designed a canvas. I knew in advance that this painting would be called “These Mountains We Climb”.
I only agreed to be a few hours involved with it about the first day. The next day, I took the painting with me at night on the beach and been able to loose the photo reference. I needed to finish the painting from memory. It turned out a bit of an epic struggle in memory!
We been discussing frames and also this one inch particular that individuals had just acquired found mind. I ran down to the frame shop and LO! it fit! what an odd size!
But here is the location where the story gets interesting, the frame originated Christies ah. About the botton of the frame would have been a brass label. It had, as yet 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 impressionist artist I had carried out the first 26″ x 32″ stretcher bars was called “Inspiration”, but was later removed and so they sat, looking forward to new life, on the medial side in my studio.
2. “These Mountains We Climb” is a painting about our battles in everyday life, right onto your pathway through the shadows and mountain highs. That has been slightly included in the painting itself- having lost the reference!
3. It happened to fit the frame that people became of have down inside the frame shop.
4. The Remington painting were in regards to the decent down a mountain side, where in the title could possibly be taken more than one way. Which coincided with mine, though hadn’t come to my knowledge until following the painting was completed and framed.
Sometimes it seems like either the “stars align” or that i really enjoy seeing, this frame was designed for this painting. Why?! We have little idea!! But there it can be! Incidentally, the label is coupled to the back with the painting and are sold using the painting. Things don’t really ever happen this way- fun stuff!
