Dear Heather,
We have a book entitled "The Onderdonks: a Family of Texas Painters by
Cecilia Steinfelt, San Antonio Museum Association, 1976. There is a
lengthy section on Julian Onderdonk with an extensive catalogue of his
works. There are seven bluebonnet field paintings illustrated and
several more drawings of bluebonnet fields. is your patron looking for a
specific painting?

One of our patrons is looking for a book on the art of Julian Onderdonk
(1882-1922), specifically one about his "Blue Bonnet" series of
paintings. A search of OCLC did not result in what we're looking for,
although there is one possibility: _Julian Onderdonk: a Texas tradition_
which we might look at.
He was born and died in San Antonio, TX, so perhaps one of you Texas
colleagues might be aware of something which addresses the "Blue Bonnet"
series.
If anyone knows of a title, we would appreciate the information. The
patron is hoping to go to a used book dealer and ask for a search so that
she can BUY a copy. (There is nothing currently in print, according to
_Books in Print_).
