Artist Statement: The purpose of my art is:

"To reflect the creativity of the Creator. Whether it be the grace, speed,
power and skill of the athlete, the dignity of human life or the beauty
of God¹s creation.

To use the magic of light and shadow to create the illusion of three
dimensions on a two dimensional surface.

To delight in the detail that forms the whole."

 
     

Vernon Wells

When V.Wells started painting athletes some 25 years, many of his early works centered around his first-born son as a toddler. Today, that son is Vernon Wells, III His Bio is Vernon Wells, III, the centerfielder of the Toronto Blue Jays. In 25 yrs, Wells has done more paintings for pro athletes than anyone. The names on his client list read like a Hall of Fame of the sporting world. The V.WELLS technique consist of rendering in pencil, followed by acrylic paints applied by airbrush and traditional brush, then detailed with fine brushes and colored pencil. If you haven't seen one of his original paintings and his extensive portfolio, it is absolutely something to behold. The Ivan “Pudge” Rodriguez Foundation has several limited edition lithographs, signed and numbered by the featured athlete and V.Wells for sale. Proceeds benefit Rodriguez’s foundation as well as The Nolan Ryan Foundation.
