About Maple Leith Art
I’m an artist, an athlete, an outdoorsman, an animal lover, a loyalist, a Canadian.
I’ve been called a knuckle-dragging Neanderthal by multiple woman. I’m a gentleman.
I have a degree in Fine Arts from The University of Western Ontario.
I’m from Kingston, Ontario, Canada.
I have lived in four of Canada’s 10 provinces. I currently live in Fernie, British Columbia.
Home is U.W.O.. Home is Toronto. Home is Shambhala. Home is Alberta. Home is British Columbia. Home is Canada.
I’m genuine.
I admire Diego Velazquez, Andy Warhol and the Great Vincent van Gogh. I respect Velazquez. I love and hate Andy. I have a kinship with Vincent. I look up to Rembrandt, Michael Snow, Yves Klein, Franz Kline, Claude Monet, Mark Rothko, Lawren Harris, Tom Thomson, Emily Carr, Laurie Anderson, the Group of 7, Ai Wei Wei and Banksy.
All of the animals and landscapes depicted in my work I have seen and photographed myself.
My personality is colourful. I love the colours of nature and how they enhance the quality of life. I make art in respect to what I have deep passion for. I create paintings and 3-D mixed media artworks of Canadian animals in addition to landscapes, as well as the abstract exploration of colour. I make art about Canada and the beauty of colour.
Leith, B.F.A.About the Product
In 1998/99 a song by Eiffel 65 titled Blue (Da Ba Dee) became an international hit. I remember that song well, and after I painted this small blue abstract, I began to sing the lyrics of that song.
I've always liked Blue, and the chorus of Da Ba Dee Da Ba Die. Though the singer is speaking of a man, his girlfriend and his life which are all blue, there is a happiness in the feel of the song.
Blue is my second favourite colour, and the song and this little painting both make me smile. The title of this work is a lyric in the song, and it seemed appropriate.
Small abstract work on paper, framed and ready to hang.
Small paper work that can be hung in whatever orientation that you choose. Image will appear differently depending on which way that you hang it. Consider the image as I display it, then rotate 90 degrees and look at it again. Find the orientation that speaks to you. This is part of the joy of abstract painting.
My signature appears on the front of the work and my Certificate of Authenticity is included.
