He attended Chicago’s Art Institute School for about two and a half years before accepting a position at an engraving house. <br />While in Chicago, MacLellan illustrated several magazine covers, designed stained glass windows, created advertisement posters, and did newspaper sketches for the Chicago Examiner.<br />In 1909, he relocated to Wilmington, Delaware, where her studied with legendary illustrator Howard Pyle. At that time, MacLellan began painting calendars and established a highly successful illustration career that lasted through the first half of the twentieth century.<br />MacLellan is best known for his cover paintings for The Saturday Evening Post. Between 1913 and 1936, he painted forty-four covers, making him one of the most prolific Post cover illustrators of his day. MacLellan specialized in painting women, and nearly all of his cover illustrations feature a woman as the central, and often only, subject.<br />By the late 1930s he turned to portrait painting and also spent more time acquiring antique furniture on behalf of the Winterthur Museum in Delaware. <br />MacLellan taught at the Studio, in Howard Pyle’s old studio in Wilmington, Delaware, from 1943 until his death in 1961.<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3586104591124883214.post-6340188466510274522011-08-30T21:01:54.820-07:002011-08-30T21:01:54.820-07:00Thank you for the links.

I, very fortunately, own the original painting he did for the April 1920 Everybody's Magazine. It is a young boy and his dog. It is a Wilmington, Delaware setting. It shows a Pyle influence along with subject matter influenced by John George Brown, who apparently was with him in Chicago. If anyone knows additional facts about his work, I am interested.

It's wonderful. Blogs like yours are really the best meeting of the old and the new (ephemera and technology.) <br /><br />I know what you mean about the tap dance. Sometimes I will go to great efforts to research one little postcard and then there are no comments at all. My devoted spouse occasionally expresses concern. You just have to know that every person who comments represents at least a dozen people who were inspired but silent.Christine H.https://www.blogger.com/profile/09786732494496282743noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3586104591124883214.post-82710075977646880542010-02-10T16:06:53.232-08:002010-02-10T16:06:53.232-08:00Thank you Carol.
