I planned to share this within a blog since it is so that very odd doing this things happened with this particular painting and frame.
In 2008 Used to do a painting in support of just recently removed it through the stretcher bars. The painting was an unusual size, so the stretcher bar frame just sat away and off to the inside from the studio. 2-3 weeks ago, I’d a photo that I planned to paint, because I was thinking of life’s difficulties and incapable of overcome. The picture was of your mountain, even as we are coming down in the top. I knew I needed it larger instead of perfectly square. The 26″ x 32″ stretcher bar frame was very beneficial. Therefore i designed a canvas. I knew in advance that the painting would be called “These Mountains We Climb”.

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

We happened to be discussing frames and this one in particular that people had just acquired found mind. I ran as a result of the frame shop and LO! it fit! what an odd size!

But this is the place that the story gets interesting, the frame originated Christies auction house. On the botton with the frame would have been 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 Classical impressionism I had completed in the main 26″ x 32″ stretcher bars was called “Inspiration”, but was later removed plus they sat, looking forward to new life, off and away to the side in my studio.
2. “These Mountains We Climb” is often a painting about our battles in life, your journey with the shadows and mountain highs. That has been slightly element of the painting itself- having lost the reference!
3. It happened to fit the frame that we became of have down in the frame shop.
4. The Remington painting been concerning the decent down a mountain side, whereby the title could possibly be taken many different ways. Which coincided with mine, though had not arrived at my knowledge until following the painting was completed and framed.
Sometimes it feels as though either the “stars align” or that i really enjoy seeing, this frame was meant for this painting. Why?! I have not a clue!! But there it is! Incidentally, the label is coupled 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!
