This is a painting of the Pilbara region of Western Australia in oil on canvas 30 by 61 cms.  It will be in my solo exhibition at Element's Art Gallery in Dalkeith WA.

At first you think the night is silent, then as your eyes gradually begin to see and darks shapes turn into deep reds you begin to hear. The moon is a cold white but somehow the trees in front of you are gold and the scratching scrabbling sounds begin, punctuated by shrieks and distant moans. You are not alone, but the endless life and death dramas of small creatures will not harm you. You are safe here in the Pilbara, enjoy the colours, the presence of the rocks and the sound of the night.

Our neighbour's farmhouse.  Most people have a house like this on the farm as well as in the village.  Often the men will stay there overnight.  I suspect this is to drink Thai whisky and get away from their wives.

We have an arts retreat guesthouse in NE Thailand where I teach painting and photography. My wife introduces our guests to Thai village life and local food.

'Deep Blue Day' 91 by 120 cms Oil on Canvas by Jeremy Holton http://www.jeremyholton.com

A friend of mine used to say that the sky is much bigger in Perth, and so it is. With our dry climate the stars are closer as well. Most of all its the Swan River that makes Perth the wonderful city it is. I have so many memories; of wading chest high at night trawling for prawns phosphorescence glittering in the clear water, of Saturday afternoon dingy racing, SCUBA training at Blackwall Reach, drunken noisy boat parties, wind surfing......Above all its Blue, the sky is Blue, the river is Blue, the whole world is BLUE.

Moon Rising over th Mitchell Falls in the Kimberley Region of Western Australia

'Moon rising over the Mitchell Falls' oil on canvas 100 by 111 cms 

by Jeremy Holton 

http://www.jeremyholton.com

Its 2 to 3 days driver from Perth to the Kimberley in the remote North of Western Australia. Another day or two along the Gibb River Road and then the track to the Mitchell Plateau. The roads are impassable in the Wet so its best to go soon after when the gorges are all flowing and hope that you don’t get blocked by a river crossing. The Mitchell Falls is worth it. This is early evening in the Dry when the falls are not in full spate but its still magnificent. I went for a walk from our camp site and left it too late to return. It was dark and I knew I had to cross a creek but couldn't find the path. In the end I took a guess as to where the camp was and waded across the stream in the dark (no crocs in that section I hoped) and luckily my sense of direction was OK as I scrambled into the camp as my friends were beginning to get worried. Nothing for several hundred kms cliffs and gorges not a good place to get lost in the dark.

'Echoes of the day' 60 by 90cms by Jeremy Holton

I call the track that runs from the Great Northern Highway down to the Gibb River Road past Tunnel Creek "Limestone Road" as there are fossil Devonian coral reefs all the way. This creates a wonderful landscape of rounded reefs caves, boabs and palms. There are crevices, hidden valleys and caves in which animals hide in the heat of the day, so too do the ghosts which wait for dusk, oozing from cracks and floating down the track seeking stragglers from the day.

'A place without time' oil on canvas 61x41 cms $1950 

As the Toodyay Road winds its way down the escarpment into the coastal plains, on the left there is a hidden valley where huge boulders and trees have an uncanny presence.  It is a place to stop and to listen to the silence.

Moonlight oil on canvas 100 x 120 cms by Jeremy Holton A moonlit view of the Darling Ranges escarpment.

This is the second in a series of paintings of moonlit views of the Darling Ranges escarpment. If you have been there you will recognise the winding tracks, rounded granite boulders, sparse straggly trees and armies of black tree grasses, burnt by fire and marching with their spears raised in silent salute. Waiting for the night when they will be free to roam again across this wild and beautiful place. Beware for there are things here that you do not understand

Fishing boats on the Mekong River in NE Thailand.  This was taken in the morning from the river below our guest house which is on the banks of the Mekong.

Throughout the day you can watch lone fishermen casting their nets in the wide river.  In the distance you can see Laos.

"Land of dreams" Oil on canvas 112 by 112 cms $3500 by Jeremy Holton  

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.
