A waterhole on the Hawkesbury River is a 1893 oil by Julian Ashton, a Impressionism work, held at Art Gallery of New South Wales.
This painting depicts a serene landscape with a waterhole as its central focus. The waterhole is surrounded by trees and bushes, with a few animals visible in the distance. The overall atmosphere is one of tranquility and peacefulness. In the foreground, the artist has used a range of colors to create a sense of depth and texture. The trees and bushes are rendered in shades of green, while the waterhole is depicted in a soft, blue-gray hue. The animals in the distance are shown in warm, earthy tones. The painting's use of light and shadow creates a sense of volume and dimensionality, drawing the viewer's eye into the scene. Look up the artist: Julian Ashton.
Julian Rossi Ashton (27 January 1851 – 27 April 1942) was an English-born Australian artist and teacher.
