Way too many Coinscidences: These kind of Mountains We Climb

I planned to share this in a blog since it is simply so very odd like that things happened using this painting and frame.
In 2008 Used to a painting simply just lately removed it through the stretcher bars. The painting was an odd size, and the stretcher bar frame just sat on along side it inside the studio. 2-3 weeks ago, I’d a photo i wished to paint, since i was thinking about life’s difficulties and helpless to overcome. The look was of your mountain, as we are coming down from your top. I knew I want to it larger and not perfectly square. The 26″ x 32″ stretcher bar frame was very successful. So I developed a canvas. I knew in advance that the painting would be called “These Mountains We Climb”.

I was simply a few hours with it about the first day. The other day, I took the painting beside me for the beach and were able to loose the photo reference. I had to finish the painting from memory. It had been a bit of an epic struggle in memory!

We were discussing frames and this one out of particular we had just acquired stumbled on mind. I ran right down to the frame shop and LO! it fit! how much of an odd size!

But this is the location where the story gets interesting, the frame originated in Christies auction house. On the botton with the frame would have been a brass label. It had, until recently 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’d carried out in the main 26″ x 32″ stretcher bars was called “Inspiration”, but was later removed plus they sat, waiting for new life, off and away to the medial side in my studio.
2. “These Mountains We Climb” is often a painting about our battles in life, right onto your pathway from the shadows and mountain highs. That has been somewhat included in the painting itself- having lost the reference!
3. It happened to fit the frame that we became of have down within the frame shop.
4. The Remington painting been concerning the decent down a mountain side, where in the title could possibly be taken many different ways. Which coincided with mine, though had not arrive at my knowledge until following your painting was completed and framed.
Sometimes it is like either the “stars align” or that for reasons unknown, this frame was intended for this painting. Why?! I’ve little idea!! But there it can be! Incidentally, the label is linked to the back with the painting and are sold with the painting. Things don’t really ever happen this way- fun stuff!
