Taking the Mick? Nude Jagger is star of Ronnie’s surreal Stones

WITH Sir Mick Jagger recuperating from a heart op, Rolling Stones guitarist Ronnie Wood has picked up his paintbrush.

The strummer’s latest work is a cover version of one of the greats.

‘I call it The Picasso Stones,’ says Ronnie, 71. ‘It’s my interpretation of Picasso’s painting The Three Dancers. I was inspired to do my own take featuring the boys.’

The picture features (from left to right) Wood, Charlie Watts on drums, a pirouetting, naked Jagger, Keith Richards and bass player Darryl Jones.

‘Picasso did his own take on a lot of artists but I bet he never thought anyone 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.’

Prints will be available on Ronnie’s website — but will Jagger think it does him justice?
