DECEMBER OF 45 - BP00075
NOTES: DECEMBER OF 45 - "Let Your Heart Come Home" to Phillips Bay "Christmas with snow and hot apple cider," says Bill, "I think that the cold outside accentuates the welcoming warmth inside." Although he grew up in California, he always dreamed of white Christmases and with this work he includes a sense of peace and happiness after the long years of World War II. Bill makes it clear that images like this one are just as much what he is about as his award-winning aviation paintings. He explains why he is so drawn to nostalgic images, like "December of '45:" "The world needs to turn around, slow down. The good old days may not have been, in reality, all that good, but in our imaginations we can make them everything they could have been or should have been . . . .".
DECEMBER OF 45 Lithograph by William Phillips is signed by the artist and comes with a certificate of authenticity.

William Phillips bio
"Phillips grew up loving art but never thought he could make it his livelihood. At college he majored in criminology and had been accepted into law school when four of his paintings were sold at an airport restaurant. That was all the incentive he needed to begin his work as a fine art painter. Bill Phillips is now a renowned aviation artist and the landscape artist of choice for many collectors. Bill's strengths as a landscape painter, a respect and reverence for a time and place, help him when painting aviation as well as classic landscapes. Phillips often spends days observing landscape subjects. Finding companionship with the land, he is able to convey the boundlessness of nature on the painted canvas inspiring a reverence for the natural landscape in its beholders. 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. In 1988, Phillips was chosen to be a U.S. Navy combat artist. For his outstanding work, the artist was awarded the Navy s Meritorious Public Service Award and the Air Force Sergeants Association s Americanism Medal. At the prestigious annual fund raiser for the National Park Service, Bill s work has been included in the Top 100 each year he has entered the competition and his work has won the Art History Award twice. Phillips was selected as the Fall 2004 Artist in Residence at the North Rim of the Grand Canyon and tapped by the U.S. Postal Service to paint the stamp illustrations and header design for a pane of twenty stamps in 1997 entitled Classic American Aircraft. He was chosen again in 2005 for a pane of twenty stamps (ten designs) entitled American Advances in Aviation."
