The Artist
How Can It Be?
After the Birds Ronnie Wood went on to take America by storm with the Jeff Beck Group. He then played with the Faces before joining the Rolling Stones in 1975. Forty-five years later the Stones continue to make music history.
But while his career in music needs no introduction, Ronnie Wood's talent as an artist is also widely recognised. His drawings and painting have been exhibited across the globe and included amoung his many fans are President Bill Clinton, Andrew Lloyd Webber, Jack Nicholson and Sir Peter Blake.
'Ronnie is in the top flight as a musician,' comments art critic Edward Lucie-Smith, 'but he's also a fully trained artist... his striking study of Eric Clapton is worthy of the National Portrait Gallery.'
'If I chose music, I'd always be drawing, and if I chose painting, I'd always be playing.' - Ronnie Wood
