Lots of Coinscidences: These types of Mountains We Climb

I desired to share this in a blog which is so very odd doing this things happened using this painting and frame.
In 2008 Used to a painting and only just lately took it off through the stretcher bars. The painting was a strange size, and the stretcher bar frame just sat off and away to the medial side from the studio. A month ago, I needed a photo that I wanted to paint, since i was thinking of life’s difficulties and incapable of overcome. The style was of a mountain, once we are coming down from your top. I knew I wanted it larger instead of perfectly square. The 26″ x 32″ stretcher bar frame was very beneficial. I really made a canvas. I knew in advance that this painting was going to be called “These Mountains We Climb”.

I was simply a couple hours into it around the first day. The next day, I took the painting beside me on the beach and been able to loose the photo reference. I needed to finish the painting from memory. It absolutely was a bit of an epic struggle in memory!

We was discussing frames which one inch particular that individuals had just acquired located mind. I ran down to the frame shop and LO! it fit! how much of an odd size!

But here’s the place that the story gets interesting, the frame originated from Christies auction house. About the botton from 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 Plein air painting I had created carried out 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 side in my studio.
2. “These Mountains We Climb” can be a painting about our battles in your life, your journey from the shadows and mountain highs. That was a bit 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 happened to be concerning the decent down a mountain side, where in the title could be taken many different ways. Which coincided with mine, though we hadn’t visit my knowledge until after the painting was completed and framed.
Sometimes it feels as though either the “stars align” or that for reasons uknown, this frame was intended for this painting. Why?! We’ve little idea!! But there it is! Incidentally, the label is linked to the back in the painting and are sold with the painting. Things don’t really ever happen this way- fun stuff!
