While juggling academics and athletics, Bellows began to receive illustration assignments. It became clear to Bellows that he wanted to become a painter. Before graduating from Ohio State, Bellows moved to New York City to begin formal, artistic training.</p>

      <p class="wow fadeInLeft" data-wow-delay=".4s">In Bellows’ later career he made frequent summer trips to Woodstock, New York and the Matinicus Islands in Maine, where he painted seascapes and landscapes. Bellows continued to exhibit and make cameo-teaching appearances in New York City and Chicago, until the end of his life.</p>
      <p class="wow fadeInLeft" data-wow-delay=".4s">Bellows is now regarded as one of the most influential, American painters of the twentieth century.
