Too Many Coinscidences: These kinds of Mountains We Climb

I planned to share this inside a blog since it is so very odd doing this things happened using this painting and frame.
In 2008 I did a painting and just just recently removed it in the stretcher bars. The painting was a bizarre size, and so the stretcher bar frame just sat on the inside inside the studio. A couple weeks ago, I had created a graphic that I wanted to paint, since i was thinking of life’s difficulties and can not overcome. The style was of a mountain, as we are coming down from your top. I knew I wanted it larger and not perfectly square. The 26″ x 32″ stretcher bar frame was very beneficial. I really made a canvas. I knew ahead of time that this painting was going to be called “These Mountains We Climb”.

I was simply a few hours in it around the first day. The next day, I took the painting beside me for the beach and been able to loose the photo reference. I had to finish the painting from memory. It was some epic struggle in memory!

We was discussing frames which one in particular that individuals had just acquired found mind. I ran as a result of the frame shop and LO! it fit! what an odd size!

But here’s in which the story gets interesting, the frame came from Christies auction house. For the botton with the frame would have been 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 impressionist artist I’d carried out in the original 26″ x 32″ stretcher bars was called “Inspiration”, but was later removed and so they sat, expecting new life, on along side it in my studio.
2. “These Mountains We Climb” is really a painting about our battles in life, your journey from the shadows and mountain highs. Which was slightly an element of the painting itself- having lost the reference!
3. It became of fit the frame we became of have down within the frame shop.
4. The Remington painting happened to be 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 visit my knowledge until following your painting was completed and framed.
Sometimes it feels like either the “stars align” or that for reasons uknown, this frame was designed for this painting. Why?! We’ve not a clue!! But there it really is! Incidentally, the label is connected to the back from the painting and you will be sold with all the painting. Things don’t really ever happen this way- fun stuff!
