Lots of Coinscidences: These kinds of Mountains We Climb


I desired to share this in the blog which is so very odd doing this things happened using this painting and frame.
In 2008 Used to a painting and only recently removed it from your stretcher bars. The painting was a bizarre size, and so the stretcher bar frame just sat off and away to the medial side within the studio. 2-3 weeks ago, I had a picture that we planned to paint, since i was considering life’s difficulties and helpless to overcome. The look was of the mountain, even as we are coming down through the top. I knew I needed it larger instead of perfectly square. The 26″ x 32″ stretcher bar frame was very beneficial. Therefore i developed a canvas. I knew beforehand that this painting would be called “These Mountains We Climb”.

I was simply a couple hours with it for the first day. The second day, I took the painting beside me 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 happened to be discussing frames and this one in particular that we had just acquired stumbled on mind. I ran into the frame shop and LO! it fit! what an odd size!

But the following is in which the story gets interesting, the frame originated Christies ah. About the botton in the frame was obviously 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 impressionism I had created done in the first 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 along side it in my studio.
2. “These Mountains We Climb” is often a painting about our battles in everyday life, right onto your pathway from the shadows and mountain highs. That has been somewhat a part of the painting itself- having lost the reference!
3. It became of fit the frame that we happened to have down in the frame shop.
4. The Remington painting was about the decent down a mountain side, wherein the title could be taken many different ways. Which coincided with mine, though hadn’t visit my knowledge until following your painting was completed and framed.
Sometimes it feels as though either the “stars align” or that for whatever reason, this frame was designed for this painting. Why?! I have no clue!! But there it can be! Incidentally, the label is connected to the back from the painting and are sold using the painting. Things don’t really ever happen this way- fun stuff!
