About the Artwork
Time to Call It a Day is an 18" x 18" acrylic painting by Grant Leier, vividly presenting a visual dichotomy, Leier style, splitting the canvas through a meandering vine in burnt sienna and cadmium orange. Spiraling vines add an organic, whimsical touch to the composition with their fluid spirals, bridging the two contrasting sides. One half is energized with cadmium yellow and ultramarine blue, the other tranquil with deep violet and Prussian blue. The sparrows, a vivid display of golden yellow, olive green, and vermilion, with touches of azure, cobalt blue, and lemon yellow, accented by coral pink highlights, all seamlessly transitioning under the meticulous application of liquid acrylics. Grant has left the visual narrative open to interpretation, allowing you to explore the boundary between the two worlds. "Are you ready to complete the story? Begin today before someone else does.

Artwork Care
CARING FOR YOUR ARTWORK
Display
Hang artwork away from direct sunlight, heat sources, and air vents. UV exposure causes fading over time — UV-protective glazing is recommended for works on paper and photography. Avoid hanging artwork above fireplaces or in bathrooms where heat and humidity fluctuate.
Cleaning
Dust frames gently with a soft, dry cloth. Never use household cleaners, water, or solvents on the artwork surface. For oil paintings, a soft-bristle brush can be used lightly to remove surface dust. Professional cleaning is recommended for valuable or delicate pieces.
Temperature & Humidity
Maintain a stable environment — ideally 18–22°C (65–72°F) with 40–55% relative humidity. Rapid changes in temperature or humidity can cause warping, cracking, or flaking. In Alberta’s dry climate, a humidifier can help protect your collection during winter months.
Handling & Moving
Always handle artwork with clean, dry hands or cotton gloves. Carry framed works by the sides of the frame — never by the hanging wire. When transporting, wrap in acid-free tissue or soft blankets and keep upright. For valuable pieces, professional art handlers and custom crating are recommended.
Storage
Store artwork upright in a cool, dry, dark space. Use acid-free materials for wrapping. Never store artwork in attics, basements, or garages where temperature and humidity are uncontrolled.
Insurance
We recommend insuring your art collection. An up-to-date appraisal (every 2–3 years) ensures proper coverage. West End Gallery offers professional appraisal services — please enquire for details.
