Way too many Coinscidences: These kinds of Mountains We Climb

I wanted to share this inside a blog because it is so that very odd like that things happened using this type of painting and frame.
In 2008 Used to do a painting simply just lately took it off in the stretcher bars. The painting was an unusual size, so the stretcher bar frame just sat away and off to along side it in the studio. A couple weeks ago, I needed a graphic that I wished to paint, because I was considering life’s difficulties and can not overcome. The look was of your mountain, once we are coming down from the top. I knew I wanted it larger and never perfectly square. The 26″ x 32″ stretcher bar frame worked well. And so i made a canvas. I knew ahead of time that this painting would be called “These Mountains We Climb”.

I was only a few hours with it about the first day. The other day, I took the painting when camping towards the beach and been able to loose the photo reference. I needed to finish the painting from memory. It was some epic struggle in memory!

We was discussing frames and also this one out of particular that we had just acquired came to mind. I ran right down to the frame shop and LO! it fit! what an odd size!

But this is where the story gets interesting, the frame originated in Christies ah. On the botton with the frame would have been a brass label. It had, as yet 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 the original 26″ x 32″ stretcher bars was called “Inspiration”, but was later removed and they also sat, looking forward to new life, away and off to the inside in my studio.
2. “These Mountains We Climb” is a painting about our battles in your life, your journey from the shadows and mountain highs. Which was somewhat included in the painting itself- having lost the reference!
3. It became of fit the frame that people became of have down inside the frame shop.
4. The Remington painting were in regards to the decent down a mountain side, whereby the title might be taken many different ways. Which coincided with mine, though had not come to my knowledge until following your 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?! I’ve not a clue!! But there it is! Incidentally, the label is connected to the back in the painting and will also be sold with the painting. Things don’t really ever happen this way- fun stuff!
