Way too many Coinscidences: These kind of Mountains We Climb

I wanted to share this within a blog because it is so that very odd doing this things happened using this type of painting and frame.
In 2008 Used to do a painting simply just removed it from the stretcher bars. The painting was an odd size, and the stretcher bar frame just sat off and away to the side within the studio. A couple weeks ago, I’d a graphic that I wanted to paint, because I was pondering life’s difficulties and can not overcome. The style was of a mountain, even as we are decreasing in the top. I knew I needed it larger instead of perfectly square. The 26″ x 32″ stretcher bar frame worked great. And so i created a canvas. I knew before hand that this painting would certainly be called “These Mountains We Climb”.

I only agreed to be a couple hours in it about the first day. The second day, I took the painting with me to the beach and was able to loose the photo reference. I needed to finish the painting from memory. It had been some epic struggle in memory!

We was discussing frames and also this one out of particular that people had just acquired located mind. I ran as a result of the frame shop and LO! it fit! what an odd size!

But this is the place that the story gets interesting, the frame originated in Christies auction house. For the botton of the frame was obviously 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 Classical impressionism I had carried out in the first 26″ x 32″ stretcher bars was called “Inspiration”, but was later removed plus they sat, waiting for new life, on along side it in my studio.
2. “These Mountains We Climb” is really a painting about our battles in life, your way over the shadows and mountain highs. Which was somewhat element of the painting itself- having lost the reference!
3. It happened to fit the frame that individuals happened to have down from the frame shop.
4. The Remington painting were about the decent down a mountain side, whereby the title could be taken many different ways. Which coincided with mine, though we hadn’t come to my knowledge until after the painting was completed and framed.
Sometimes it feels like either the “stars align” or that for reasons unknown, this frame was meant for this painting. Why?! I’ve little idea!! But there it really is! Incidentally, the label is coupled to the back of the painting and you will be sold together with the painting. Things don’t really ever happen this way- fun stuff!
