Approaching Rain, Southwest Texas 1922

"Approaching Rain, Southwest Texas" is a landscape painting created by Robert Julian Onderdonk in 1922, just a few months before his untimely death at the age of 40. Onderdonk was known for his depictions of the Texas landscape, often capturing the light and atmosphere of the region. This painting showcases his signature style, with loose brushstrokes and a focus on capturing the feeling of the impending storm. The painting's muted tones and atmospheric perspective evoke a sense of peace and tranquility, while the towering clouds and distant hills suggest the presence of a coming storm. The white fence in the foreground adds a touch of human presence to the otherwise wild landscape. This painting is a testament to Onderdonk's talent for capturing the beauty and grandeur of the Texas landscape.
