Rolf Harris shows off his art

  • 14 years ago

Rolf Harris has showed off his own "Sun Arise" as he launched a new collection of artworks including a painting of a fiery sky.

The star, who turned 80 this year, was unveiling his latest paintings from an exhibition which opens this week and is soon set to tour the UK.

Rolf's show, A Life In Art, ties in with a new book of the same name which celebrates his 65 years as an artist.

He said: "Every spare moment I paint. I just paint things that I see that are fascinating."

The presenter and entertainer's show will launch a new London gallery Clarendon Fine Art in London's Mayfair when it opens to the public on Friday, and will run until July 18. It will later go on tour.

Rolf originally had ambitions to be an artist until his TV career took off. But he has continued to create artworks over the years, with his famously daubed paintings which gave rise to his "Can you tell what it is yet?" catchphrase.
