Ronnie Wood
was born in Middlesex, England, into
a musical and artistic family. Before beginning his musical career he
received formal art training at Ealing College of Art in London. As his
musical career with the Jeff Beck Group, the Faces and the Rolling Stones
progressed, Ronnie continued his painting and drawing, his subjects ranging
from musicians he admired, knew and sometimes played with, to family and
close friends, and, of course, the self-portrait.
Throughout
the years the artist and the musician have been inseparable. As his musical
career progressed, Ronnie continued his passion for painting and drawing,
his subjects ranging from band members and musicians he admired, knew
and sometimes played with, to
family and close friends and, of course, the self-portrait. It is on natural
to find him with a pencil as with a guitar, drawing portraits of contemporaries
and finding inspiration from his musical influences.
