I read about wild heart painting some time back... maybe a year or two ago. I liked the idea of just playing for the sake of playing.
Right now I am stuck between two major projects. One is over (my workshop) the other is coming up in a few days so I really really did not want to get lost in a project and then have to leave it for a while... I like to dive in and stay with the flow to the end! So, today, I set up a sheet of plywood and put a 40 in by six foot long piece of art paper on it. Then I dug out my cheap craft paints, which I swear those things keep expanding and expanding as I think I am going to use them up and there they are, more than ever and fuller than ever! (just kidding) So, since I don't have much else going on, I thought I would show you pictures of my painting with no purpose other than just to get some paint on that paper!

I started with a green...
And discovered I had five different greens in my stash so I used all of them...
Then I decided to do yellow and found some gold so added that...
And finally some pink...
I think tomorrow I will break out the blues...
So, this did do what I wanted it to do... I got to play in paint but did not have to think about the results at all! It is a perfect spacer and breather between two major projects.
