Inscribed verso: A Peach Orchard in Bloom / San Antonio, Texas / Julian Onderdonk / 1921

A Peach Orchard in Bloom is a stunning example of Onderdonk's late work. Painted in 1921, only a year before his death, it is among his most impressionistic works. The exquisite, painterly brushwork brings a light, airy quality to the work and invokes the freshness and brilliance of the Texas Hill Country in spring. Orchards are not all that common in Onderdonk's body of work but his interest in the natural beauty of Texas in all its colors and seasons shines through this lovely painting.
