Original Painting | Leap of the Wild Heart | Crossing: 4.6 | 100 x 140 cm

Title: Leap of the Wild Heart

Paradox: What you are teaches more than what you say.

The Story

This work emerges from watching my son and dog follow their hearts without hesitation, exploring without overthinking, existing as their truest selves. In contrast to how I was raised, I give them what I didn't have — freedom to adventure without struggle. They represent the free spirit I paid a heavy price to create, so future generations can launch higher from this platform. The canvas captures their wild hearts mid-flight: fearless, authentic, unburdened. A new world relies on them being attuned within.

The Crossing

Crossing 4.6 Alignment via Receiving — Leap of the Wild Heart. The figures leap mid-flight without bracing for landing. Full focus moves through the body, the work, the gesture — energy going to exactly the right place without leaking. What is given here is not contingent on reception.

Presence

A figurative collage on canvas combining acrylic, ink and rice paper to render mid-leap human and animal forms across a layered mineral landscape.

Specialised Pigments

Acrylic, ink and rice paper collage on linen canvas. Mineral pigments layered through the figures and the mineral landscape, with collage edges held visible — paint, paper and line operating together rather than smoothed into one surface.
