Way too many Coinscidences: These types of Mountains We Climb

I wished to share this in a blog because it’s simply so very odd this way things happened using this type of painting and frame.
In 2008 I did a painting simply recently removed it through the stretcher bars. The painting was an odd size, so the stretcher bar frame just sat off and away to the medial side in the studio. A month ago, I’d a picture that we wished to paint, since i was thinking about life’s difficulties and can not overcome. The style was of your mountain, even as are coming down from your top. I knew I wanted it larger rather than perfectly square. The 26″ x 32″ stretcher bar frame was very successful. I really designed a canvas. I knew in advance that the painting was going to be called “These Mountains We Climb”.

I was simply a couple hours in it on the first day. The second day, I took the painting when camping for the beach and was able to loose the photo reference. I had to finish the painting from memory. It was some epic struggle in memory!

We were discussing frames which one out of particular we had just acquired found mind. I ran as a result of the frame shop and LO! it fit! what an odd size!

But here is in which the story gets interesting, the frame originated from Christies ah. For the botton from the frame was 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 Jessica Henry I’d done in the original 26″ x 32″ stretcher bars was called “Inspiration”, but was later removed and they sat, awaiting new life, away and off to the side in my studio.
2. “These Mountains We Climb” is a painting about our battles in daily life, right onto your pathway with the shadows and mountain highs. That has been somewhat included in the painting itself- having lost the reference!
3. It became of fit the frame that people became of have down within the frame shop.
4. The Remington painting happened to be in regards to the decent down a mountain side, wherein the title could be taken more than one way. Which coincided with mine, though had not arrived at my knowledge until as soon as the painting was completed and framed.
Sometimes it feels as though either the “stars align” or that for whatever reason, this frame was intended for this painting. Why?! I have little idea!! But there it can be! Incidentally, the label is coupled to the back of the painting and will also be sold with the painting. Things don’t really ever happen this way- fun stuff!
