A lot of Coinscidences: These kind of Mountains We Climb

I planned to share this in a blog since it is just so very odd like that things happened with this particular painting and frame.
In 2008 Used to do a painting and just recently took it off from your stretcher bars. The painting was an unusual size, therefore, the stretcher bar frame just sat off and away to the medial side inside the studio. Two to three weeks ago, I needed a graphic which i desired to paint, because I was considering life’s difficulties and incapable of overcome. The look was of the mountain, once we are decreasing from the top. I knew I wanted it larger rather than perfectly square. The 26″ x 32″ stretcher bar frame was very beneficial. I really created a canvas. I knew ahead of time how the painting would definitely be called “These Mountains We Climb”.

I was just a couple of hours involved with it on the first day. The second day, I took the painting with me at night for the beach and was able to loose the photo reference. I needed to finish the painting from memory. It had been some epic struggle in memory!

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

But the following is the location where the story gets interesting, the frame originated in Christies ah. Around the botton of the frame would be a brass label. It had, up to now 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 needed carried out in the original 26″ x 32″ stretcher bars was called “Inspiration”, but was later removed and they sat, expecting new life, away and off to along side it in my studio.
2. “These Mountains We Climb” is often a painting about our battles in life, your way through the shadows and mountain highs. That has been slightly a part of the painting itself- having lost the reference!
3. It became of fit the frame we became of have down within the frame shop.
4. The Remington painting been regarding the decent down a mountain side, whereby the title might be taken many different ways. Which coincided with mine, though we had not arrived at 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 intended for this painting. Why?! We have not a clue!! But there it can be! Incidentally, the label is connected to the back with the painting and are sold with the painting. Things don’t really ever happen this way- fun stuff!
