Lovers and Python Pool - painting by Jeremy Holton
Several year's ago I was painting at Python Pool in the Pilbara region on NW Australia. It was dusk and when I arrived at the pool there was a couple swimming in the water. As I worked they seemed to stay in for a long time and it was only when the man ran naked from the water that I realised that they were "skinny dipping" a pastime that many people indulge in when swimming in the magic pools of the outback. He picked up a towel and used it to shield his girlfriend from my view as she too came out of the water. As a gentleman I averted my eyes of course. I included the couple in the painting and it sold quickly. This painting revisits the subject matter and is influenced by the mystery and presence of an ancient Aboriginal site combined with the brilliance of the reds, oranges and violets of the this rugged landscape.

Land of dreams
I know this place. I have been there many times. Was it a dream? There is a hillside and a stream. Many dark places in which I cannot see. All is green and lush with vegetation. Rich. Tropical? Or are there mines? Somewhere in the light. I can see houses. Or can I? I can hear the animals now and the tinkling drips of water in my mind. Have you been here? If not its time you came with me to find it. You have been here before you know. You will never remember when or how but just know that it was and will be a land of dreams.

| Push-Pull A color theory enabling you to take colors which come forward and other colors which recede and control them to make the warm colors go back and the cool colors come forward. It's mainly done by modifying the Chromas and edge control ...although there's much more to it than that. Below are two demos to show it in use ...allowing the artist the control to move colors anywhere in space. Traditional color theories can't explain this. It's like the bumblebee that engineers say shouldn't be able to fly...but it does. Bumblebees won't listen to engineers. As a teen, I had the opportunity to study with Hans Hofmann. Over the years I have been able to apply many of his color ideas to realist painting. While color theories are best mastered by doing abstractions, the lessons can be applied to realist and figurative work.  
The cool figure has the cigarette stay in the right space rather than jumping forward. It's the only warm in the picture...or is it? Color Weight  In the above example: the dark colors on top make the stick look less stable than when the light colors are on top. The dark-on-top stick looks as though it could tilt and fall. From this simple observation to Push-Pull is a journey of study and quiet contemplation -- this Zen-like state is very important to the study of color because color "comes to you" and cannot be bludgeoned with tenacious study. You cannot study many aspects of art as you would accountancy. It does not reveal itself to a rational approach because it involves that portion of the brain that is not linear. PBS did an informative film on the life of my former teacher and you can see some of it online. The most engaging part is the Push & Pull Puzzle.For more information, visit The Cennini Forum and the Art Bootcamp online.
