A lot of Coinscidences: These types of Mountains We Climb

I planned to share this inside a blog since it is simply so very odd doing this things happened using this type of painting and frame.
In 2008 Used to do a painting in support of just lately took it off in the stretcher bars. The painting was an unusual size, so the stretcher bar frame just sat off and away to the medial side inside the studio. Two to three weeks ago, I’d an image that I wished to paint, since i was considering life’s difficulties and can not overcome. The picture was of the mountain, even as are decreasing in the top. I knew I desired it larger and never perfectly square. The 26″ x 32″ stretcher bar frame was very successful. I really developed a canvas. I knew in advance that this painting would definitely be called “These Mountains We Climb”.

I was only a few hours into it about the first day. The 2nd day, I took the painting when camping towards the beach and been able to loose the photo reference. I had to finish the painting from memory. It turned out some epic struggle in memory!

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

But this is where the story gets interesting, the frame came from Christies ah. About the botton of 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 Jessica Henry I had done in the first 26″ x 32″ stretcher bars was called “Inspiration”, but was later removed and they also sat, expecting new life, away and off to the medial side in my studio.
2. “These Mountains We Climb” is a painting about our battles in daily life, your journey with the shadows and mountain highs. Which was a little bit included in the painting itself- having lost the reference!
3. It happened to fit the frame that people became of have down inside the frame shop.
4. The Remington painting happened to be in regards to the decent down a mountain side, whereby the title may be taken more than one way. Which coincided with mine, though we had not arrived at my knowledge until as soon as the painting was completed and framed.
Sometimes it feels as though either the “stars align” or that for whatever reason, this frame was created for this painting. Why?! We’ve little idea!! But there it is! Incidentally, the label is linked to the back with the painting and you will be sold with the painting. Things don’t really ever happen this way- fun stuff!
