Way too many Coinscidences: These types of Mountains We Climb

I planned to share this within a blog because it is so that very odd doing this things happened with this painting and frame.
In 2008 Used to do a painting and just just removed it in the stretcher bars. The painting was an unusual size, therefore, the stretcher bar frame just sat away and off to the side inside the studio. Two to three weeks ago, I had created a graphic that we wished to paint, since i was thinking about life’s difficulties and incapable of overcome. The style was of the mountain, even as are coming down from the top. I knew I wanted it larger instead of perfectly square. The 26″ x 32″ stretcher bar frame worked well. Therefore i developed a canvas. I knew beforehand that the painting would be called “These Mountains We Climb”.

I was simply one or two hours in it for the first day. The second day, I took the painting with me for the beach and was able to loose the photo reference. I had to finish the painting from memory. It had been some epic struggle in memory!

We were discussing frames and this one in particular that people had just acquired located mind. I ran right down to the frame shop and LO! it fit! how much an odd size!

But here’s in which the story gets interesting, the frame originated in Christies ah. Around the botton from the frame was 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 Classical impressionism I needed completed in the initial 26″ x 32″ stretcher bars was called “Inspiration”, but was later removed plus they sat, expecting new life, off to the medial side in my studio.
2. “These Mountains We Climb” is a painting about our battles in everyday life, right onto your pathway from the shadows and mountain highs. That was somewhat element of the painting itself- having lost the reference!
3. It became of fit the frame that we happened to have down inside the frame shop.
4. The Remington painting was about the decent down a mountain side, whereby the title may be taken more than one way. Which coincided with mine, though we had not come to my knowledge until as soon as the painting was completed and framed.
Sometimes it is like either the “stars align” or that i really enjoy seeing, this frame was intended for this painting. Why?! We’ve little idea!! But there it is! Incidentally, the label is coupled to the back with the painting and will be sold with all the painting. Things don’t really ever happen this way- fun stuff!
