Way too many Coinscidences: These kinds of Mountains We Climb


I desired to share this in the blog which is so that very odd that way things happened using this type of painting and frame.
In 2008 Used to do a painting and only just recently removed it through the stretcher bars. The painting was an unusual size, and the stretcher bar frame just sat off to along side it within the studio. A couple weeks ago, I had a photo i wanted to paint, because I was thinking of life’s difficulties and can not overcome. The look was of an mountain, once we are decreasing from your top. I knew I wanted it larger instead of perfectly square. The 26″ x 32″ stretcher bar frame worked well. And so i designed a canvas. I knew ahead of time that the painting would definitely be called “These Mountains We Climb”.

I was simply one or two hours into it on the first day. The next day, I took the painting beside me on the beach and been 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 happened to be discussing frames this also one in particular that people had just acquired stumbled on mind. I ran down to the frame shop and LO! it fit! how much an odd size!

But here is in which the story gets interesting, the frame originated from Christies ah. Around the botton with the frame would be 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 impressionist artist I had carried out the original 26″ x 32″ stretcher bars was called “Inspiration”, but was later removed and they sat, awaiting new life, on the side in my studio.
2. “These Mountains We Climb” is a painting about our battles in your life, your journey with the shadows and mountain highs. Which has been a bit included in the painting itself- having lost the reference!
3. It happened to fit the frame that people happened to have down from the frame shop.
4. The Remington painting was regarding the decent down a mountain side, whereby the title may be taken more than one way. Which coincided with mine, though we had not come to my knowledge until following your painting was completed and framed.
Sometimes it feels like either the “stars align” or that for whatever reason, this frame was designed for this painting. Why?! We have not a clue!! But there it’s! Incidentally, the label is connected to the back with the painting and you will be sold with the painting. Things don’t really ever happen this way- fun stuff!

Too Many Coinscidences: These kind of Mountains We Climb


I desired to share this in the blog which is just so very odd like that things happened with this painting and frame.
In 2008 I did a painting and only just lately removed it through the stretcher bars. The painting was a strange size, so the stretcher bar frame just sat away and off to the inside inside the studio. A month ago, I needed a graphic that we wished to paint, since i was considering life’s difficulties and incapable of overcome. The image was of the mountain, as we are coming down through the top. I knew I want to it larger rather than perfectly square. The 26″ x 32″ stretcher bar frame worked great. So I made a canvas. I knew ahead of time that the painting would definitely be called “These Mountains We Climb”.

I only agreed to be a few hours in it on the first day. The other day, I took the painting with me at night to the beach and was able to loose the photo reference. I needed to finish the painting from memory. It had been some epic struggle in memory!

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

But the following is where the story gets interesting, the frame originated from Christies ah. Around the botton of 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 Jessica Henry I had created completed in the initial 26″ x 32″ stretcher bars was called “Inspiration”, but was later removed and so they sat, looking forward to new life, off to along side it in my studio.
2. “These Mountains We Climb” is a painting about our battles in life, right onto your pathway from the shadows and mountain highs. Which was a bit element of the painting itself- having lost the reference!
3. It became of fit the frame that we happened to have down within the frame shop.
4. The Remington painting happened to be in regards to the decent down a mountain side, where in the title could possibly be taken more than one way. Which coincided with mine, though we had not arrive at my knowledge until as soon as the painting was completed and framed.
Sometimes it seems like either the “stars align” or that for reasons unknown, this frame was meant for this painting. Why?! I’ve no idea!! But there it really is! Incidentally, the label is linked to the back with the painting and are sold with the painting. Things don’t really ever happen this way- fun stuff!
