A lot of Coinscidences: These kinds of Mountains We Climb

I wished to share this in a blog which is simply so very odd this way things happened with this particular painting and frame.
In 2008 Used to do a painting simply just lately removed it through the stretcher bars. The painting was an odd size, therefore, the stretcher bar frame just sat away and off to the side inside the studio. A couple weeks ago, I needed a graphic that we wished to paint, since i was thinking about life’s difficulties and helpless to overcome. The style was of the mountain, as we are coming down through the top. I knew I desired it larger and not perfectly square. The 26″ x 32″ stretcher bar frame was very beneficial. And so i designed a canvas. I knew before hand the painting was going to be called “These Mountains We Climb”.

I was just one or two hours with it on the first day. The next day, I took the painting beside me for the beach and was able to loose the photo reference. I had to finish the painting from memory. It had been a bit of an epic struggle in memory!

We was discussing frames and this one inch particular that individuals had just acquired stumbled on mind. I ran into the frame shop and LO! it fit! how much of an odd size!

But the following is in which the story gets interesting, the frame came from Christies ah. For 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 impressionist artist I had created carried out in the initial 26″ x 32″ stretcher bars was called “Inspiration”, but was later removed and they also sat, expecting new life, on the inside in my studio.
2. “These Mountains We Climb” is often a painting about our battles in your life, right onto your pathway through the shadows and mountain highs. That was a little bit an element of the painting itself- having lost the reference!
3. It happened to fit the frame that we happened to have down within the frame shop.
4. The Remington painting were in regards to the decent down a mountain side, whereby the title could be taken many different ways. Which coincided with mine, though we hadn’t 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 uknown, this frame was created for this painting. Why?! We have no idea!! But there it really is! Incidentally, the label is coupled to the back from the painting and you will be sold with all the painting. Things don’t really ever happen this way- fun stuff!
