The Rolling Stones Suite I - Ronnie Wood, 1988

A self-portrait is often difficult for an artist to accomplish because he knows his subject almost too well. This is not so for Ronnie. Perhaps it is his experience being famous and seeing his own face plastered everywhere that gives him a certain amount of detachment when it comes to painting himself. Here, Ronnie has captured himself with all the thought and concentration we see of him onstage.
