 After
one of his paintings was presented to King Hussein of Jordan,
Phillips was commissioned by the Royal Jordanian Air Force. He
developed sixteen major paintings, many of which now hang in the
Royal Jordanian Air Force Museum in Amman. The Smithsonian
Institution’s National Air and Space Museum presented a one-man show
of Phillips’ work in 1986; he is one of only a few artists to have
been so honored.
“My career in aviation art has carried me throughout the world and I have
had some exciting experiences as I gather research for my paintings.
I flew in the F-15 during an air combat mission at Red Flag, with
the Top Gun School at Miramar and into Mt. St. Helen’s shortly after
the eruption to cover rescue operations. I have also flown
with the Thunderbirds and the Blue Angels. I have experienced the
adrenalin rush of flying into a typhoon off Guam and the wild,
low-level tactics employed by the F-5 pilots in the Royal Saudi Air
Force and the Jordanian Air Force.” ~ Bill
Phillips

" I Will Hold You in
my Dreams " |
|
In this painting, the focus of the story
shifts to the West Coast where our young aviator departs from Santa
Barbara, bound for San Francisco and a ship that will take him to war in
the Pacific. Young soldiers departing in 1944 had a tough road ahead of
them—some of the worst battles of the war were yet to come and there
seemed to be no end to the fighting in sight—but they held their heads
high as they bid their families farewell.
In the rush to transport troops to the
Pacific via the West Coast, passenger trains such as the Southern
Pacific “Daylight” locomotives were repurposed, and many a soldier found
himself kissing his loved ones goodbye as a “Daylight” steam train
pulled into the station.

" Late Season, Block
Island" |
|
Following in the footsteps of his
successful Inns of Christmas series, William S. Phillips now begins
Inns of the Seasons, beginning with Late Season, Block Island.
William and his wife, Kristi, traveled to Block Island, Rhode
Island, to research the local inns and found themselves at the
Atlantic Inn, owned by Brad and Anne Marthens. “The inn gives you a
feeling of Block Island as it must have been many, many years ago,”
says the artist. “It has that laid-back feeling of a classic New
England inn.”

Denali Summer |
|
Denali Summer
features two celebrated icons of the far North: one natural, one man-made.
The forbidding and beautiful Alaskan wilds provide the backdrop for the
legendary workhorse of the Alaskan bush: a De Havilland Beaver float plane.
As the plane roars over the summer tundra, the icy river below rushes and
tumbles its contents of glacial silt. On the distant horizon, America’s
highest peak dominates the horizon. (Mount McKinley is also known as Denali,
or “The High One,” in the language of the local people.) Mount McKinley’s
scale is so massive that the mountain actually creates its own weather, and
today its peak sparkles in the brilliant sunlight of one of the few
cloudless days of the year. |

Westbound: A Date
with the General |
|
“When we get to
Chunking, I’m going to give you all a party that you won’t forget,” was Lt.
Colonel James Doolittle’s promise to the 16 B-25 crews aboard the USS Hornet
a few days before their historic air raid on Japan.
All of Aircraft
15’s crew would eventually make their way to Chunking but sixteen of the
other Doolittle’s Raiders did not. Doolittle himself would rise to the rank
of full General.
“Why chronicle
any historical event?” asks artist Bill Phillips. Because paintings like
Westbound: A Date with the General, he says, “help us to understand the
times in which we live. Remembering the sacrifices of brave men and women
help us to be more aware of how we should view this great country and the
freedoms we so often take for granted.” |

Dawn of the Liberators |
|
Dawn of the
Liberators was created as a tribute to the aviators whose bravery
contributed to the Allied victory in World War II. The painting was
commissioned as a memorial to artist Howard Terpning’s brother, First
Lieutenant John E. Terpning, who paid the ultimate price to secure American
freedom. First Lieutenant Terpning was a pilot in the crew of B-24D Bomber
42-20525, which was lost over New Guinea on May 7, 1944. |

Christmas
Eve at the Ahwahnee |
|
As the fourth in
the “Inns of Christmas” series, William S. Phillips captures the spirit of
the season, as well as a glimpse of Santa, with Christmas Eve at the
Ahwahnee. Christmas magic has created collector magic, making Sold Out
editions of Christmas Eve Delivery, Christmas Eve at the Winchester Inn and
Winter Visitors at Kringle Hill Inn.
Imagine Santa’s
joy while flying over our national treasure of Yosemite National Park and
arriving at the majestic Ahwahnee Hotel. This National Historical Landmark
represents the great American outdoors and is known for its granite façade,
striking beamed ceilings, massive stone hearths and richly colored Native
American artwork. Although beautiful and elegant in any season, the Ahwahnee
is especially stunning in winter. Each December, the Ahwahnee hosts The
Bracebridge Dinner, a feast of food, song and mirth. The holiday season,
with its great pageantry and a sumptuous feast fit for a king, is an event
even Santa wouldn’t miss. |

Out of
the Squall Line |
|
William S. Phillips
brings us the latest in his impressive fleet, reproduced at a “Nimitz Class”
size. While researching Out of the Squall Line, Phillips spent ten days
aboard the USS Harry S. Truman (CVN 75), where he was given the opportunity
to see every aspect of the ship and its flight operations. In a personal
challenge, Phillips included at least one portion of each of the Truman’s
air wing in the painting. |

Winter
Symphony |
|
No place is more unique to the American
landscape than the Grand Canyon. To stand at its rim and behold its vast
beauty is truly one of the greatest experiences this country has to offer.
It is only fitting that we introduce William S. Phillips’ Great American
Landscapes series with this national treasure. Sunset casts its amber glow
across the snow-swept terraces of Yaki Point, northeast from the artist’s
location at Mather Point. This dramatically-sized canvas is one of the
largest we’ve ever produced and captures the grand scope of this natural
wonder far better than any replica has before. |

Summer
of '45: And All Creation Rejoiced |
|
''It is the Fourth of July,
1945 and the celebration is even more significant this year – the war in
Europe has ended. As a country, everyone hopes and prays that the war in the
Pacific will come to a quick conclusion. A young boy and girl sit on the
front lawn with their faithful companion and enjoy the fireworks in the town
below. These children symbolize the post-war hope that perhaps soon all
would live in peace. In the distance a thunderstorm, the “cloud of war,”
begins to move away. High in the sky overhead a civilian version of the new
Lockheed Constellation ushers in a new era of peacetime air transportation'' |

Into the
Teeth of the Tiger
30th
Anniversary Limited Edition Giclee Canvas
Countersigned by Don Lopez |
|
'' There’s more
than one way to bring down an opposing fighter, as 1st Lt. Don Lopez learned
on December 12, 1943. He and his comrades of the 75th Fighter Squadron were
at 6,000 feet over South Central China when the young airman experienced his
first scramble. Lopez ripped his P-40 into the middle of a flight of
Japanese “Oscars” and quickly engaged one of
them, flying directly at one another, firing steady hits. Lopez expected his
opponent to break off, but neither did so. Head-on only a few feet apart,
the Oscar swerved right … too late. Lopez lost three feet off the end of his
wing, but the Japanese pilot lost substantially more, including control of
his aircraft, which plunged toward the earth. Undaunted, Lopez pressed the
attack again and scored enough victories to join the ranks of “ace” fighter
pilot. Artist Bill Phillips’ careful research and sure technique present a
stunning portrait of a classic warbird … while Don Lopez provides the
true-to-life drama for an exciting limited edition canvas. '' |

Winter
Visitors at Kringle Hill Inn |
|
''Nestled in the
coastal foothills just south of Phillips Bay, the winter-chilled traveler
will find Kringle Hill Inn. Established in 1820, the charming bed and
breakfast has seen many visitors. By far, however, its most famous visitor
arrived one stormy evening in 1823, where rumor has it that the Inn opened
its doors to a jolly bearded man in a red suit who was driving a large
sleigh pulled by, of all things, reindeer. The old man was chilled to the
bone and was invited in for hot cider and a full Christmas Eve dinner. When
asked his name, he simply replied “Kris.” After a couple of hours of warmth
by the Inn’s great fireplace, he doffed his cap, tugged twice on his great
white beard and quite simply disappeared. To this very day, Christmas
visitors at Kringle Hill Inn claim that they occasionally hear the sound of
sleigh bells and a hearty “Ho-ho-ho” carried on the chill of the winter’s
wind. '' |

Best
Seat in the House |
|
" As the firework displays light up the night
sky with a dazzling palette of color, we know it’s time to celebrate summer
at the Bay View Inn. The 150-year-old lodge features one of the most
picturesque views in the Phillips Bay Highlands. The Inn is as renowned for
the sumptuous meals served on a stone terrace overlooking both the Inner and
Outer bays as it is for its nightly displays of patriotism during the month
of July. This night, classic automobiles are featured at the twilight cruise
from dockside through Phillips Bay culminating with dancing to live music
from the 1940s, ’50s and ’60s. If you’re lucky enough to find a spot on the
west garden lawn across from the heart-shaped pond, you’ve got “The best
seat in the house.” |

Apple
Creek Yacht Club |
|
Summer has come to Phillips Bay. Along
Apple Creek, nestled among the Cotswold Hills about 30 minutes west of
Phillips Bay, the sounds of meadowlarks and bullfrogs mingle with the
aroma of flowers and fresh-cut grass.
On this day, a pair of boys and their dog
have gathered at the old stone footbridge for a little boating. Tying
their boats to string with a metal fishing sinker as a counterweight, they
set their imaginations afloat. These boys will build a rich treasury of
memories over the years as members of the Apple Creek Yacht Club.

Revelation |
|
“In researching a perfect companion piece to
Winter Symphony, I reflected while hiking in the Grand Canyon. By
mid-morning, small white tufts begin to form against the brilliant blue
Arizona sky. By early afternoon, these clouds have grown to take the form of
immense castles towering over the Coconino Plateau. And if you listen
closely, you’ll hear the roll of distant thunder carried along on the
breeze. "

The
Heavens Proclaim His Glory |
|
" Throughout history man has built places of
prayer and worship, from the great cathedrals of Europe to the quaint
churches of Phillips Bay and the village of Cotswold Hills. From here, the
highest point in Dogwood County, the bells tolls over the rural countryside
and rises heavenward, proclaiming the good news of a loving God. But, no
matter how grand or unique the works of man, they pale in comparison to the
evidence of the great creation. Evidence we witness every day if we take the
time to notice – for all creation sings God’s praise and truly the heavens
proclaim His glory. " |

Give Us
This Day |
|
In England during World War II, each dawn was
brought the sounds of young men headed off to war. As daylight spreads
across the tranquil countryside on this mist-shrouded summer morning, the
aircraft of the 8th Air Force once again take to the air as they head for
the dangerous skies of occupied Europe.
Representing not only an overt symbol of
Allied might, the B-17G is also a more subtle indication as to the direction
of the war. The plane carries no camouflage paint, since paint added weight,
which cost speed and fuel. Stationed in Northamsted between April '44 and
June '45, this B-17G is from the 398th Bomb Group, 602nd Bomb Squadron.
Along with most others, the crew members ardent prayer was, "
…give us this day."

A Prayer
For My Brother An Unsigned Open Edition
Print to benefit the National Fallen Firefighters Foundation. |
|
After looking at this powerful work by Bill Phillips,
it may not surprise you to learn that he is a former fire fighter. (In
fact, Bill only left the profession after 16 years of service when he
begun to earn a full-time living through his art.) Bill has painted this
iconic and heroic work of art to support firefighters nationwide. He
hopes that the outpouring of support for New York for fire fighters
continues to raise awareness and appreciation for everyday, unsung
heroes nationwide. The Greenwich Workshop will donate a portion of
proceeds the to National Fallen Firefighters Foundation, an organization
which provides support to the families of lost firefighters nationwide.
This affordably priced and conveniently sized print would be appreciated
by firehouses in every community. |
