Give Dad the Gift of Art and Shared Memories this Father's Day.
A giclee print of artist Kyle Lucks’ painting “Waino” is the perfect Father’s Day gift for any St. Louis Cardinals fan or lover of the game of baseball. The original painting sold to a private collector, but prints of the painting showing the MLB pitcher and future Hall of Famer, Adam Wainwright aka “Waino” are available for purchase on Kyle’s website - kylelucks.com.
As an artist, I’ve built my career painting professional athletes, musicians, and cultural icons - not just for who they are, but for what they represent in our lives. These aren’t just portraits, they are moments captured on canvas - a game-winning shot, a championship celebration, a legendary pose frozen in time. And so often, those moments are tied to memories we’ve made with the people we love, especially our dads and grandfathers.
For many of us, sports are generational. They’re passed down like heirlooms - rally towels, signed baseballs, old tickets tucked into drawers. Some of my earliest memories of sports are wrapped up in weekends with my dad, and I know many collectors share the same deep connection. And of course, sports belong to everyone. Some of my most loyal collectors of St. Louis Cardinals paintings are women, and I’ve had incredible conversations with moms and daughters who know stats better than most broadcasters. But since this guide is for Father’s Day, I wanted to focus on prints that celebrate those bonded moments between fathers and their kids - the ones shouting at the TV, standing in the nosebleeds, or catching a glimpse of greatness in real life.
So, if you're looking for a Father's Day gift that hits deeper than a new polo shirt or grill gadget, I've pulled together a list of prints that honor the icons, history, and shared legacy that lives on between generations.
Let’s get into it.
