I wished to share this within a blog since it is so that very odd this way things happened using this painting and frame.
In 2008 I did a painting in support of recently removed it through the stretcher bars. The painting was a bizarre size, and the stretcher bar frame just sat off and away to the side within the studio. 2-3 weeks ago, I needed a picture i desired to paint, since i was considering life’s difficulties and helpless to overcome. The look was of the mountain, as we are coming down in the top. I knew I needed it larger and not perfectly square. The 26″ x 32″ stretcher bar frame was very beneficial. I really made a canvas. I knew beforehand how the painting would be called “These Mountains We Climb”.

I was simply a couple of hours involved with it about the first day. The 2nd day, I took the painting beside me for the beach and were able to loose the photo reference. I needed to finish the painting from memory. It absolutely was a bit of an epic struggle in memory!

We was discussing frames which one out of particular that people had just acquired located mind. I ran right down to the frame shop and LO! it fit! how much an odd size!

But the following is in which the story gets interesting, the frame originated from Christies auction house. For the botton with the frame would have been 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 the first 26″ x 32″ stretcher bars was called “Inspiration”, but was later removed and so they sat, awaiting new life, off to the medial side in my studio.
2. “These Mountains We Climb” is a painting about our battles in daily life, the journey through the shadows and mountain highs. That has been slightly an element of the painting itself- having lost the reference!
3. It became of fit the frame that individuals became of have down within the frame shop.
4. The Remington painting happened to be in regards to the decent down a mountain side, whereby the title may be taken more than one way. Which coincided with mine, though hadn’t come to my knowledge until after the painting was completed and framed.
Sometimes it is like either the “stars align” or that for reasons unknown, this frame was designed for this painting. Why?! We’ve not a clue!! But there it’s! Incidentally, the label is connected to the back from the painting and you will be sold together with the painting. Things don’t really ever happen this way- fun stuff!
