George Glenn Newell was born in Berrien County, Michigan in 1870. He was a student of Edgar Melville Ward (1849-1915) at the National Academy of Design, after he graduated from Albion College in Michigan and Columbia University. Additionally, Newell studied under Will S. Robinson and F. E. Courter at the Teacher's College of New York. Newell became a National Academician in 1937, and exhibited at the National Academy regularly between 1901 and 1944. He was president of Allied Artists of America, and a member of New York's Grand Central Art Galleries. A reviewer in Academy Notes in 1908 noted that Newell's works were "painted directly from nature, in a broad and vigorous manner."
