THE ARTIST - JACK FELLOWS
Jack Fellows has been called a perfectionist at heart, and that attitude toward his work has created a passion for recording the essence of his subjects.
Jack's interest in art began as soon as he could pick up a pencil at about the age of four years old. Painting professionally since 1967, Fellows has drawn wide acclaim and numerous honors for his oils & pastel paintings in galleries and art shows throughout the world.
His favorite subjects, ethnic scenes, World War II vintage aircraft, and especially the Pacific Theater, at first seem to be an odd combination of subject matter. Fellows explains that he paints pictures of scenes that are not likely to be seen any longer. Such influences as having a wife of European descent and a father that was a Boeing Aircraft engineer that worked on the original B-17 project, further explains a basis for his subject selections.
The historic qualities of his paintings are emphasized through his attention to graduations of light, the precision in which he assigns tonal weight to highlight and shadow, creative use of brilliant colors and the feeling of depth that he creates. Fellows draws upon technical skills acquired during his training as a commercial artist, and paints with a realism that pulls the viewer emotionally into the painting.
His works are found in corporate, private, and museum collections as well as various publications worldwide.

The Israeli Air Force Raid on the Osiraq Nuclear Reactor
At sundown, on Sunday, June 7, 1981, the Israeli Air Force destroyed the nuclear breeder reactor at al-Tuwaitha, Iraq. The reactor was designed to produce nuclear weapons for Saddam Hussein, the bellicose dictator of Iraq, who had made no secret of the fact that he intended to use these weapons to destroy the state of Israel. The raid was conceived in absolute secrecy and brilliantly executed by eight highly trained pilots in the strike package flying F-16A "Netz" attack fighters, modified by Israeli engineers for long-range attack, and by another eight F-15 fighter pilots who executed top-cover and communications during the raid.
The two F-16 Netz aircraft seen in the painting were the last two over the target, which was attacked by four pairs of F-16s in trail. Both pilots, "Relik" Shafir (foreground aircraft) and his wingman, Ilan Ramon, seen behind Shafir, emerged from a furious cauldron of antiaircraft ordinance put up by the Iraqi defenses unscathed, as did the six pilots that preceded them. All of the aircraft returned safely to Israel, following the mission. Ilan Ramon, who subsequently became Israel's first astronaut, was later to die tragically in the American space shuttle explosion over Texas in 2003.

All Limited Edition prints are signed and numbered (S/N) by the artist. Limited Edition prints are restricted to a certain number. For example, if 400 prints are made from an original painting, once they’re gone, that’s it. There is no limit to the number of open edition prints of a particular painting. That’s why Limited Edition prints are more expensive — and more valuable to collectors — than "open" edition. Rare objects are more valuable.
An Artist’s Proof (AP), generally, is the first 10% of the Limited Edition prints that come off the press. If the Limited Edition is 400 s/n, there would be 40 APs. This status is noted on the print. Collectors prefer APs because their value increases even more than a Limited Edition as time goes by.
The term "giclee" denotes an elevation in printmaking technology. Images are generated from high resolution digital scans and printed with archival quality inks onto various substrates including canvas, fine art, and photo-base paper. The giclee printing process provides better color accuracy than other means of reproduction. The quality of the giclee print rivals traditional silver-halide and gelatin printing processes and is commonly found in museums, art galleries, and photographic galleries.
All Limited Edition artwork is subject to availability at time of order. Although seller strives to remain currrent as to inventory, seller reserves the right to cancel a sale if item is no longer available at time of purchase.
