I desired to share this within a blog which is just so very odd doing this things happened using this type of painting and frame.
In 2008 I did so a painting simply just recently took it off in the stretcher bars. The painting was a bizarre size, and so the stretcher bar frame just sat away and off to the inside within the studio. A month ago, I had created a graphic i wished to paint, because I was pondering life’s difficulties and can not overcome. The image was of the mountain, as we are decreasing from the top. I knew I wanted it larger instead of perfectly square. The 26″ x 32″ stretcher bar frame worked well. And so i made a canvas. I knew before hand that the painting would be called “These Mountains We Climb”.

I was simply a couple hours in it about the first day. The next day, I took the painting with me towards the beach and was able to loose the photo reference. I needed to finish the painting from memory. It turned out some epic struggle in memory!

We been discussing frames which one inch particular we had just acquired found mind. I ran right down to the frame shop and LO! it fit! what an odd size!

But this is where the story gets interesting, the frame originated in Christies ah. Around the botton in the frame was obviously 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 completed in the original 26″ x 32″ stretcher bars was called “Inspiration”, but was later removed and they also sat, expecting new life, away and off to the side in my studio.
2. “These Mountains We Climb” is often a painting about our battles in life, the journey over the shadows and mountain highs. That was slightly element of the painting itself- having lost the reference!
3. It happened to fit the frame that individuals happened to have down inside the frame shop.
4. The Remington painting were concerning the decent down a mountain side, where in the title could be taken many different ways. Which coincided with mine, though we hadn’t visit my knowledge until after the painting was completed and framed.
Sometimes it is like either the “stars align” or that i really enjoy seeing, this frame was designed for this painting. Why?! I’ve little idea!! But there it can be! Incidentally, the label is attached to the back with the painting and you will be sold using the painting. Things don’t really ever happen this way- fun stuff!
