Life

Todhunter was born in 1884 in San Francisco, California.[1] He graduated from the California School of Design, later known as the San Francisco Art Institute.[2]

Todhunter began his career as a commercial artist at the San Francisco Chronicle alongside Rube Goldberg and Bud Fisher.[2] He worked for the advertising firm McCann-Erickson until 1949.[2]

Todhunter was also a watercolor and oil painter, and he exhibited his work at the Oakland Art Gallery in 1942.[3] Although he used Impressionist features, he was "not a true impressionist" because of the use of lines in his paintings.[3] Todhunter devoted his time to painting the landscapes of Marin County until his death.[4]

Todhunter resided in Mill Valley, California with his wife, Alice Serella, and their son, Norman; they were both painters.[4] He died in 1963 in San Francisco.[1] His widow died in 1969.[5] His artwork can be seen at the Fine Arts Museums of San Francisco.[1]
