About the artist:
Born in Kingsburg, California in 1923, Earl Thollander was the son of a schoolteacher and a building contractor. He aspired at an early age to artistic enterprises. Growing up in San Francisco, Earl attended Mission High and then City College. This is where he began his formal art training. He then attended the University of California at Berkeley for a year and a half, studying under such instructors as Eugene Neuhaus and John Haley.
World War II interrupted his studies when he signed up with the U.S. Navy. Graduating from the Naval Academy, he became an officer on the LSM 314, a landing ship that traveled throughout the South Pacific; especially the Philippines. In addition to his duties of navigation, communications, and gunnery officer he continued to sketch, paint, and write about the scenes and events around him.
he attended the San Francisco Art Institute and the Academy of Art, studying with many of the well known artists of the day, such as Richard Diebenhorn.
While employed in advertising he continued his work as a fine artist in the studio he built at the top of his Moraga Street house. In 1960, Earl was able to become a freelance artist working entirely from his home studio. Representatives from New York, Chicago, and Los Angeles provided commercial assignments that led to a lucrative career. These commissions allowed him to spend more time on his fine art aspirations.
Earl visited and drew in over 71 countries around the globe. The sketches from these trips would later inspire paintings done in his studio at home. He also became well known for his American journeys through his original Sunset book The Backroads of California and later on for his additional Backroads books which included travels through Oregon, Washington, Arizona, New England, Texas, and the Carolinas.
During his career, Earl illustrated over 62 children’s cooking and travel books. He had at least 60 one-man shows and participated in countless group and invitational shows. The work of Earl Thollander is held in numerous collections in the U.S and abroad.

- Newbury Street, Boston [Louis Boston / Bonwit Teller Building]Located in Boston, MAThis watercolor by Charles Demetropoulos depicts a classical French Academic-style building which was designed in 1862 by architect William G. Preston as the new home of the Boston Society for Natural History, which had been founded in 1830. In the 1860’s, many of Boston’s cultural institutions relocated here to the Back Bay, the elegant residential district being built on the tidal marshes behind the city.
