No Flying today by William S. Phillips SOLD

About the Artist: Phillips, a young artist, born in 1945, but he is already a member of the Air Force Art Porgram and his work hangs in numerous public and private collections throughout the world.  He's logged hours in F106's, F-15's, RF-4's, to name a few and spent a tour of duty in the Air  Force, which included an assignment at Tan Son Nhut, Vietnam.  Phillips claims a hereditary calling to art. His father was a fine painter and cartoonist, but chose the theater as his career.  As for Bill, he has had a love affair with flight from the days when he was 12 and would spend his afternoons watching Air National Guard F-86's take off and land at the Van Nuys, CA Airport.  Phillips chose to major in crimiology in college and had been accepted into law school.  One afternoon he hung four of his paintings in a restaruant; before the third was up he had sold them all.  That was all it took to convince him that his future lay not in legal practice but in aviation art.
