Lots of Coinscidences: These Mountains We Climb

I desired to share this within a blog since it is so very odd doing this things happened with this painting and frame.
In 2008 I did so a painting and only just recently took it off through the stretcher bars. The painting was a strange size, and so the stretcher bar frame just sat off and away to the side from the studio. Two to three weeks ago, I had a photo that we wanted to paint, since i was thinking about life’s difficulties and can not overcome. The look was of a mountain, even as are decreasing from your top. I knew I desired it larger and not perfectly square. The 26″ x 32″ stretcher bar frame was very beneficial. So I created a canvas. I knew ahead of time the painting would certainly be called “These Mountains We Climb”.

I only agreed to be a few hours into it on the first day. The next day, I took the painting with me on the beach and was able to loose the photo reference. I had to finish the painting from memory. It absolutely was a bit of an epic struggle in memory!

We happened to be discussing frames this also one in particular we had just acquired located mind. I ran right down to the frame shop and LO! it fit! what an odd size!

But here’s where the story gets interesting, the frame originated Christies ah. For the botton with the frame would have been a brass label. It had, alternatives 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 completed in the initial 26″ x 32″ stretcher bars was called “Inspiration”, but was later removed and they sat, looking forward to new life, off to the inside in my studio.
2. “These Mountains We Climb” can be a painting about our battles in your life, right onto your pathway from the shadows and mountain highs. Which has been somewhat included in the painting itself- having lost the reference!
3. It happened to fit the frame that people happened to have down within the frame shop.
4. The Remington painting was in regards to the decent down a mountain side, where in the title may be taken many different ways. Which coincided with mine, though we had not arrive at my knowledge until following the 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?! We have no idea!! But there it is! Incidentally, the label is coupled to the back from the painting and you will be sold with the painting. Things don’t really ever happen this way- fun stuff!
