As base guitarist of the Rolling Stones, Ronnie Wood is legendary but his career as a painter has met with some controversy. Initially the art world slated his painting. David Lee, editor of Jackdaw the art magazine, reportedly said, "Wood still has some way to go. They are not dreadful. He is an enthusiast but not an artist."

When I ask if criticism worries him, Ronnie is philosophical. For Ronnie Wood, painter, his admirers now outnumber those who would diminish him. Brian Sewell, long regarded as one of the country's loftiest art critics, recently pronounced Wood "an accomplished and respectable painter". Ronnie is suitably appreciative. "I paint well. I know it, you know it. There's no arguing really, is there? Now, I'm being taken seriously, I've got highfalutin' art collectors and everything! I've even got poncey, snooty British art critics on my side. It's true! They've accepted me, and it's blown my mind, I'll be honest with you, it has."
