In addition, he published a number of outstanding books on the socio economic and the social cultural and political development of The Bahamas.
Appointed Ambassador to the United States of America and non-resident Ambassador to Colombia and Malaysia on March 7th, 2022, Ambassador Jones has not let diplomacy and politics take all of his time
away from what he considers to be one of his greatest life disciplines: painting.
Always with a keen eye for things and scenes that are aesthetically pleasing, he has also studied the works of some of the renowned artists in the world, so it was no surprise that he pursued his hobby by painting in his spare time.
His art includes impressionistic, abstract and realism, which, are admired and obtained by art enthusiasts from around the world.

The artist Wendall Jones has produced an impressive body of work consisting - with only a few exceptions - of an exceptional series of abstract variations. With meticulous, multilayered brushstrokes, the artist has created fragile tapestries of colour and light; somewhere located between Pointillism and abstract expressionistic influences.
This body of work is even more remarkable when we
note that the artist did not receive any formal training in painting and is entirely self-taught.
