I wished to share this inside a blog because it is so very odd like that things happened with this particular painting and frame.
In 2008 Used to a painting and just just lately removed it through the stretcher bars. The painting was an unusual size, and the stretcher bar frame just sat on the inside from the studio. A month ago, I’d a photo that I planned to paint, since i was thinking of life’s difficulties and helpless to overcome. The look was of a mountain, once we are decreasing in the top. I knew I want to it larger and not perfectly square. The 26″ x 32″ stretcher bar frame was very beneficial. So I made a canvas. I knew ahead of time that the painting was going to be called “These Mountains We Climb”.

I only agreed to be a couple of hours with it around the first day. The next day, I took the painting beside me to the beach and was able to loose the photo reference. I needed to finish the painting from memory. It was a bit of an epic struggle in memory!

We been discussing frames this also one in particular that people had just acquired located mind. I ran down to the frame shop and LO! it fit! how much of an odd size!

But the following is in which the story gets interesting, the frame came from Christies ah. About the botton of 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 Classical impressionism I had created carried out in the initial 26″ x 32″ stretcher bars was called “Inspiration”, but was later removed plus they sat, expecting new life, on the side in my studio.
2. “These Mountains We Climb” can be a painting about our battles in daily life, right onto your pathway through the shadows and mountain highs. That was a little bit an element of the painting itself- having lost the reference!
3. It became of fit the frame we became of have down within the frame shop.
4. The Remington painting been in regards to the decent down a mountain side, whereby the title may be taken many different ways. Which coincided with mine, though we had not arrive at my knowledge until following your painting was completed and framed.
Sometimes it is like either the “stars align” or that i really enjoy seeing, this frame was meant for this painting. Why?! We’ve little idea!! But there it really is! Incidentally, the label is coupled to the back in the painting and you will be sold with all the painting. Things don’t really ever happen this way- fun stuff!
