The Rolling Stones guitarist Ronnie Wood has unveiled a series of new paintings, including a Picasso-inspired picture that honours his band.
Entitled ‘Abstract Stones’, which you can view below, the painting is one of five different works of art Wood is selling online as hand-signed prints from tomorrow (April 26).

“I call it The Picasso Stones. It’s my interpretation of Picasso’s painting The Three Dancers,” Wood said. “Looking at the original, I was inspired to do my own take featuring the boys. I did a few versions and each one was slightly different and more honed than the last.
“I had great fun doing it. Picasso did his own take on a lot of artists but I bet he never thought no one would ever do a take on him. I hope and think he’d be flattered, but also a bit shocked and pleasantly surprised at my take on his work.”
Wood has also painted a set of his own personal interpretations of classic Stones tour posters: Bridges to Babylon, Urban Jungle and Voodoo Lounge. For more information, head to Ronnie Wood’s official site here.
