It’s Ronnie Wood’s family portrait!

Fancy having this little number hanging above your mantelpiece? If so, there’s no time to waste: get on to eBay and cast your bid because it’s being auctioned off for charity right now!

As you can see, the portrait depicts Rolling Stone Ronnie Wood as a vampire, sucking the blood of a young woman.

It’s the work of artist Paul Karslake, who - you may be interested to note - is the brother of Ronnie’s estranged wife, Jo Wood.

Paul was commissioned to create a work of art to mark the UK launch of US TV show True Blood - so he presumably decided to kill two birds with one stone, and have a pop at his brother-in-law at the same time.

Indeed, the artist admits in the accompanying press release: “I painted the piece to portray my disgust at the treatment of my sister. I’ve been really upset over the events and my brush just did the talking.” Hmmm… I bet Jo found that really helpful.

So what do you think of the picture? Love it? Hate it? Wish you had a similar portrait of your ex-partner? Tell us here.

Not very realistic is it. It makes him look almost human.

If anyone is stupid enough to buy Scarlet Johannson' snotty tissues on Ebay, then they are stupid enough to buy that thing! It's a very good portrait of Ronnie, but i think the whole painting is very disturbing! I thought he just broke up with her, not turn into a vampire and kill her! And i thought it was the brother of Ronnie’s estranged wife, Jo Wood, not the sister!
