WOOD ON CANVAS is an intimate look at Ronnie Wood's prolific painting, from his early art-school beginnings to the present day. The collection ranges from portraits of The Rolling Stones and many other famous luminaries and friends such as Jimi Hendrix, Bob Dylan, John Lennon and Keith Moon, to sketches drawn at home, on holiday and on tour. Some of the pictures are great favourites but many of them are previously unseen, including several sketches Ronnie drew in between shows on the Bridges to Babylon tour. Every piece of artwork has been hand-picked from Ronnie's vast archive of sketch books and files.

Ronnie has many funny tales, and he provides humorous stories and anecdotes about the people he has painted. In a text of over 8,000 words, Ronnie talks candidly about himself, his tremendous musical career as one of the world's great guitarists and his second passion and talent in life, painting. He recalls the early days with his first band The Birds, followed by his apprenticeship on bass with The Jeff Beck Group, fun and games with The Faces and ultimately with the most popular and successful rock 'n' roll band in the world - The Rolling Stones. Ronnie reveals to us his thoughts and feelings about being a Stone and his relationships with the other members of the band.

Ronnie Wood: 'All my idols like Howlin' Wolf and Muddy Waters practically died on stage. That's what we'll do, rock till we drop.'

Mick Jagger: 'Ronnie's revealing snapshots of rock 'n' roll life.'

Keith Richards: 'Ronnie Rembrant, as he is known to his subjects, has created a kind of visual diary over the years. Thank God he works fast or I would still be posing for his paint to dry.'

Charlie Watts: 'What can I say, Ronnie is Ronnie... and now you own a bit of him.'
