Too Many Coinscidences: These types of Mountains We Climb

I wished to share this within a blog which is just so very odd this way things happened using this type of painting and frame.
In 2008 Used to a painting simply just took it off from your stretcher bars. The painting was a strange size, and so the stretcher bar frame just sat on along side it from the studio. 2-3 weeks ago, I had a picture that I planned to paint, because I was thinking of life’s difficulties and struggling to overcome. The style was of a mountain, even as we are decreasing through the top. I knew I desired it larger and never perfectly square. The 26″ x 32″ stretcher bar frame worked great. And so i made a canvas. I knew ahead of time how the painting was going to be called “These Mountains We Climb”.

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

We was discussing frames this also one in particular that individuals had just acquired stumbled on mind. I ran right down to the frame shop and LO! it fit! what an odd size!

But here’s the location where the story gets interesting, the frame originated in Christies auction house. Around 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 Classical impressionist artist I needed carried out in the original 26″ x 32″ stretcher bars was called “Inspiration”, but was later removed plus they sat, looking forward to new life, on along side it in my studio.
2. “These Mountains We Climb” can be a painting about our battles in everyday life, your journey through the shadows and mountain highs. That was somewhat included in the painting itself- having lost the reference!
3. It became of fit the frame that individuals became of have down in the frame shop.
4. The Remington painting happened to be concerning the decent down a mountain side, wherein the title might be taken more than one way. Which coincided with mine, though we hadn’t visit my knowledge until after the painting was completed and framed.
Sometimes it seems like either the “stars align” or that for reasons unknown, this frame was intended for this painting. Why?! We’ve not a clue!! But there it really is! Incidentally, the label is coupled to the back in the painting and are sold with the painting. Things don’t really ever happen this way- fun stuff!
