Last night Ronnie Wood was on stage strutting his stuff with Keef, Charlie and Sir Mick. Tonight it will be wine and canapes as he mingles with what he hopes will be the cream of London's art collecting world.
Wood is holding a private view for his art in his own gallery, Scream, in Mayfair. His rock'n'roll years are famous, but away from the performing and drinking and drug taking Wood has been quietly attempting to establish himself as a credible and respected artist

He started exhibiting his work publicly in San Francisco in the 1980s and has since held exhibitions all over the world, often tied in with tour schedules.
In the gallery is displayed an eclectic mix of verdant landscapes, prints of showbiz pals dead and alive such as Jack Nicholson and Jimi Hendrix, drawings of the Stones, and plenty of wildlife.

He is not cheap. A limited edition print of a depressed Charlie Watts will cost £950, but it is more like £40,000 for a 3ft by 2ft canvas of Alchiea (Ronnie's first horse) and £60,000 for Abstract Rhino. His people claim he is the "biggest selling print artist in the US".

Wood, the youngest Stone at 59, said of the exhibition: "I am deeply passionate about what I do and it's a thrilling moment to be able to share my art in a space we designed to be creative, contemporary and most importantly fun for everyone."
