Too Many Coinscidences: These kinds of Mountains We Climb

I wished to share this inside a blog because it is just so very odd that way things happened using this type of painting and frame.
In 2008 Used to do a painting and only just lately took it off through the stretcher bars. The painting was a strange size, so the stretcher bar frame just sat on the medial side from the studio. A couple weeks ago, I’d an image that we planned to paint, since i was thinking of life’s difficulties and struggling to overcome. The image was of an mountain, even as are decreasing from the top. I knew I needed it larger instead of perfectly square. The 26″ x 32″ stretcher bar frame was very beneficial. I really made a canvas. I knew beforehand how the painting would certainly be called “These Mountains We Climb”.

I was simply a couple of hours into it for the first day. The 2nd day, I took the painting with me at night on the beach and were able to loose the photo reference. I needed to finish the painting from memory. It turned out some epic struggle in memory!

We been discussing frames and this one in particular that people had just acquired came to mind. I ran as a result of the frame shop and LO! it fit! how much of an odd size!

But this is where the story gets interesting, the frame originated Christies ah. On the botton from the frame was obviously 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 Plein air painting I had created completed in the initial 26″ x 32″ stretcher bars was called “Inspiration”, but was later removed and they also sat, expecting new life, off to along side it in my studio.
2. “These Mountains We Climb” can be a painting about our battles in daily life, right onto your pathway from the shadows and mountain highs. Which was a bit element of 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 happened to be concerning the decent down a mountain side, whereby the title may be taken more than one way. Which coincided with mine, though we had not visit my knowledge until following the painting was completed and framed.
Sometimes it is like either the “stars align” or that i really enjoy seeing, this frame was designed for this painting. Why?! We’ve no clue!! But there it’s! Incidentally, the label is connected to the back in the painting and you will be sold using the painting. Things don’t really ever happen this way- fun stuff!
