Forever Red Gold, part of my Maple Leaf Forever series, is loosely inspired by the colours in the Maple Leaf Tartan. This Tartan, which represents Canada, includes the four seasons of the maple leaf: green (in spring and summer), gold (early fall), red (after frost), and brown (after falling).
Canadians have traditionally exhibited a quiet patriotism: proud, but not loud. In recent months, many of us have been re-evaluating our attitudes, choosing to speak up, speak out, and consider carefully where we spend our CA$. Forever Red Gold is a gentle reminder that, as a nation, we are second to none.
