I desired to share this inside a blog since it is so very odd this way things happened with this particular painting and frame.
In 2008 Used to do a painting and just just removed it through the stretcher bars. The painting was an odd size, and so the stretcher bar frame just sat away and off to the inside from the studio. Two to three weeks ago, I needed a graphic that I desired to paint, since i was thinking of life’s difficulties and can not overcome. The style was of your mountain, even as we are coming down in the top. I knew I desired it larger and never perfectly square. The 26″ x 32″ stretcher bar frame was very beneficial. And so i developed a canvas. I knew in advance that the painting would definitely be called “These Mountains We Climb”.

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

We were discussing frames this also one out of particular we had just acquired came to mind. I ran as a result of the frame shop and LO! it fit! how much of an odd size!

But here’s in which the story gets interesting, the frame originated Christies auction house. About the botton with the frame would be a brass label. It had, as yet 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 the first 26″ x 32″ stretcher bars was called “Inspiration”, but was later removed plus they sat, looking forward to new life, off to the inside in my studio.
2. “These Mountains We Climb” is often a painting about our battles in everyday life, right onto your pathway over 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 we became of have down within the frame shop.
4. The Remington painting been about the decent down a mountain side, whereby the title may be taken many different ways. Which coincided with mine, though had not come to my knowledge until as soon as the painting was completed and framed.
Sometimes it is like either the “stars align” or that for reasons uknown, this frame was meant for this painting. Why?! We have no idea!! But there it’s! Incidentally, the label is attached to the back from the painting and will be sold using the painting. Things don’t really ever happen this way- fun stuff!
