Lots of Coinscidences: These kinds of Mountains We Climb

I planned to share this within a blog because it is just so very odd like that things happened using this type of painting and frame.
In 2008 Used to do a painting in support of just recently removed it through the stretcher bars. The painting was an odd size, and the stretcher bar frame just sat away and off to the medial side within the studio. A month ago, I needed a graphic which i wished to paint, because I was pondering life’s difficulties and can not overcome. The image was of your mountain, even as we are decreasing through the top. I knew I want to it larger and never perfectly square. The 26″ x 32″ stretcher bar frame was very successful. Therefore i made a canvas. I knew in advance that this painting would certainly be called “These Mountains We Climb”.

I only agreed to be a few hours with it for the first day. The 2nd day, I took the painting beside me for 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 was discussing frames this also one out of particular that individuals had just acquired came to mind. I ran down to the frame shop and LO! it fit! what an odd size!

But here’s the place that the story gets interesting, the frame originated in Christies ah. For the botton in the frame was obviously 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 needed completed in the initial 26″ x 32″ stretcher bars was called “Inspiration”, but was later removed and so they sat, expecting new life, off and away to the side in my studio.
2. “These Mountains We Climb” is a painting about our battles in daily life, your way with the shadows and mountain highs. Which was a bit an element of the painting itself- having lost the reference!
3. It became of fit the frame we became of have down from the frame shop.
4. The Remington painting was concerning the decent down a mountain side, wherein the title might be taken more than one way. Which coincided with mine, though we hadn’t come to 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 designed for this painting. Why?! We’ve no clue!! But there it’s! Incidentally, the label is connected to the back with the painting and will also be sold with the painting. Things don’t really ever happen this way- fun stuff!
