A lot of Coinscidences: These types of Mountains We Climb

I desired to share this inside a blog which is so very odd that way things happened with this painting and frame.
In 2008 Used to a painting in support of just took it off from your stretcher bars. The painting was a bizarre size, and the stretcher bar frame just sat away and off to the medial side within the studio. A couple weeks ago, I had created a photo that we desired to paint, because I was considering life’s difficulties and incapable of overcome. The look was of your mountain, even as we are coming down from the top. I knew I want to it larger rather than perfectly square. The 26″ x 32″ stretcher bar frame worked well. So I designed a canvas. I knew beforehand that this painting was going to be called “These Mountains We Climb”.

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

We were discussing frames and this one in particular that individuals had just acquired stumbled on mind. I ran as a result of the frame shop and LO! it fit! what an odd size!

But here’s where the story gets interesting, the frame originated from Christies ah. About the botton of the frame would have been 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 impressionist artist I had carried out the original 26″ x 32″ stretcher bars was called “Inspiration”, but was later removed plus they sat, looking forward to new life, off and away to the medial side in my studio.
2. “These Mountains We Climb” is really a painting about our battles in your life, the journey through the shadows and mountain highs. That was slightly an element of the painting itself- having lost the reference!
3. It became of fit the frame that people happened to have down within the frame shop.
4. The Remington painting was regarding the decent down a mountain side, wherein the title may be taken more than one way. Which coincided with mine, though hadn’t come to my knowledge until as soon as the painting was completed and framed.
Sometimes it is like either the “stars align” or that for reasons unknown, this frame was created for this painting. Why?! I have no idea!! But there it really is! Incidentally, the label is coupled to the back from the painting and will be sold with the painting. Things don’t really ever happen this way- fun stuff!
