Art lovers in Dublin were excited on Thursday night with anticipation of the unveiling of Ronnie Wood’s pieces of art at Gallery Number 1 on Castle Street, Dublin 2.Some people were disappointed that the Rolling Stone didn’t show up to unveil his “Paint it Black” series but people were really impressed with the works of art.

Not to worry, the show went on with David Douglas, the gallery’s owner, announcing Ronnie’s work. “The reaction we’ve had is amazing. People love Ronnie” David said on the night.

 While Ronnie is best known for his musical abilities, he has been painting since he was 12 years old and his latest collection is a series of prints of the Rolling Stones on tour. Prices started from €460, climbing to over €41,000. In total the 40 piece collection is valued in excess of €650,000.

Ronnie told the gallery that he will pop in at some stage before the event closes on July 6th. That shouldn’t be a problem for him since it’s not that far from his plush Co. Kildare stables where he breeds horses.

You can see Ronnie’s work on display at Gallery Number One’s website after the exhibition is finished, so if you want to see the work now, go to the gallery on Castle Street, Dublin 2.
