Too Many Coinscidences: These types of Mountains We Climb

I desired to share this inside a blog because it’s so very odd like that things happened using this painting and frame.
In 2008 Used to a painting in support of just lately took it off through the stretcher bars. The painting was an unusual size, so the stretcher bar frame just sat off to the medial side inside the studio. A couple weeks ago, I had a graphic i wanted to paint, since i was thinking of life’s difficulties and can not overcome. The picture was of your mountain, as we are decreasing through the top. I knew I want to it larger and not perfectly square. The 26″ x 32″ stretcher bar frame worked great. I really developed a canvas. I knew ahead of time that this painting would definitely be called “These Mountains We Climb”.

I was just a few hours in it around the first day. The second day, I took the painting with me at night to the beach and managed 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 was discussing frames which one inch particular we 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 this is in which the story gets interesting, the frame came from Christies ah. For the botton from the frame would be 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 Jessica Henry I had created carried out in the main 26″ x 32″ stretcher bars was called “Inspiration”, but was later removed and they also sat, expecting new life, away and off to the inside in my studio.
2. “These Mountains We Climb” can be a painting about our battles in life, the journey over the shadows and mountain highs. Which has been somewhat an element of the painting itself- having lost the reference!
3. It happened to fit the frame that we happened to have down inside the frame shop.
4. The Remington painting been regarding the decent down a mountain side, whereby the title might be taken more than one way. Which coincided with mine, though we hadn’t arrived at my knowledge until following your painting was completed and framed.
Sometimes it feels as though either the “stars align” or that for reasons uknown, this frame was designed for this painting. Why?! I have no idea!! But there it’s! Incidentally, the label is coupled to the back with the painting and will be sold with all the painting. Things don’t really ever happen this way- fun stuff!
