Julian Onderdonk is considered by collectors and art scholars to be one of the finest painters from the state of Texas. He is renowned for his impressionistic style of painting landscapes, especially those of the Texas Hill Country, with his bluebonnet paintings in particular being highly coveted. "Twilight in the Hills, Blue-Bonnets" painted by the artist in 1918, the prime of Onderdonk’s career, is an exceptional example of his very best work.
