Way too many Coinscidences: These kinds of Mountains We Climb

I planned to share this in the blog since it is so that very odd this way things happened using this type of painting and frame.
In 2008 I did a painting in support of just recently removed it from the stretcher bars. The painting was a bizarre size, so the stretcher bar frame just sat on the side within the studio. A month ago, I’d a photo that we wanted to paint, since i was thinking of life’s difficulties and struggling to overcome. The style was of your mountain, even as we are coming down from your top. I knew I want to it larger and never perfectly square. The 26″ x 32″ stretcher bar frame was very beneficial. I really created a canvas. I knew before hand the painting would be called “These Mountains We Climb”.

I only agreed to be a couple of hours with it around the first day. The second day, I took the painting with me at night on 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 been discussing frames this also one out of particular that people had just acquired stumbled on mind. I ran as a result of the frame shop and LO! it fit! how much of an odd size!

But here is in which the story gets interesting, the frame came from Christies auction house. About the botton in the frame was 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 impressionism I had carried out the first 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, your journey over the shadows and mountain highs. Which was a bit an element of 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 about the decent down a mountain side, wherein the title could be taken more than one way. Which coincided with mine, though we had not arrive at my knowledge until as soon as the painting was completed and framed.
Sometimes it seems like either the “stars align” or that for reasons unknown, this frame was created for this painting. Why?! We’ve no clue!! But there it is! Incidentally, the label is connected to the back with the painting and you will be sold with all the painting. Things don’t really ever happen this way- fun stuff!
