A lot of Coinscidences: These types of Mountains We Climb

I planned to share this in the blog which is simply so very odd that way things happened using this painting and frame.
In 2008 I did so a painting and only just lately took it off in the stretcher bars. The painting was a bizarre size, so the stretcher bar frame just sat on the medial side in the studio. Two to three weeks ago, I’d a graphic that we planned to paint, because I was thinking of life’s difficulties and struggling to overcome. The style was of your mountain, as we are coming down through the top. I knew I want to it larger and not perfectly square. The 26″ x 32″ stretcher bar frame was very beneficial. Therefore i designed a canvas. I knew ahead of time how the painting would certainly be called “These Mountains We Climb”.

I was only one or two hours involved with it around the first day. The other day, I took the painting beside me towards the beach and been able to loose the photo reference. I needed to finish the painting from memory. It was a bit of an epic struggle in memory!

We was discussing frames which one out of particular that people had just acquired located mind. I ran right down to the frame shop and LO! it fit! how much an odd size!

But here’s in which the story gets interesting, the frame originated Christies ah. About the botton with the frame would be a brass label. It had, up to now 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’d done in the original 26″ x 32″ stretcher bars was called “Inspiration”, but was later removed plus they sat, expecting new life, off to the medial side in my studio.
2. “These Mountains We Climb” is really a painting about our battles in daily life, your journey over the shadows and mountain highs. Which was somewhat a part of the painting itself- having lost the reference!
3. It happened to fit the frame that people became of have down within the frame shop.
4. The Remington painting been concerning the decent down a mountain side, wherein the title could be taken more than one way. Which coincided with mine, though hadn’t visit my knowledge until following the painting was completed and framed.
Sometimes it feels like either the “stars align” or that for whatever reason, this frame was intended for this painting. Why?! I have little idea!! But there it really is! Incidentally, the label is connected to the back in the painting and will also be sold using the painting. Things don’t really ever happen this way- fun stuff!
