A lot of Coinscidences: These Mountains We Climb

I desired to share this in a blog which is so that very odd this way things happened using this painting and frame.
In 2008 Used to do a painting and just just removed it through the stretcher bars. The painting was an unusual size, therefore, the stretcher bar frame just sat away and off to the side within the studio. Two to three weeks ago, I needed a photo i wished to paint, since i was thinking of life’s difficulties and struggling to overcome. The style was of the mountain, as we are coming down from the top. I knew I needed it larger rather than perfectly square. The 26″ x 32″ stretcher bar frame was very beneficial. I really made a canvas. I knew beforehand the painting was going to be called “These Mountains We Climb”.

I was only a couple of hours in it about the first day. The other day, I took the painting with me towards the beach and were able to loose the photo reference. I had to finish the painting from memory. It turned out a bit of an epic struggle in memory!

We were discussing frames and also this one inch particular 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 where the story gets interesting, the frame originated Christies auction house. For the botton from the frame would be 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 Jessica Henry I had created carried out in the first 26″ x 32″ stretcher bars was called “Inspiration”, but was later removed plus they sat, expecting new life, off and away to the medial side in my studio.
2. “These Mountains We Climb” is a painting about our battles in everyday life, the journey over 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 people became of have down inside the frame shop.
4. The Remington painting were in regards to the decent down a mountain side, wherein the title might be taken many different ways. Which coincided with mine, though we hadn’t visit my knowledge until after the painting was completed and framed.
Sometimes it feels like either the “stars align” or that i really enjoy seeing, this frame was created for this painting. Why?! I have no clue!! But there it really is! Incidentally, the label is coupled to the back with the painting and you will be sold with the painting. Things don’t really ever happen this way- fun stuff!
