out to see it. the local priest even blessed the car with holy water. all means of locomotion that brings people together to connect and unites them and that's the role of the gospel truth. when i. said it's a masterpiece michel's an artist. convert the to c.v.s. a legendary automobile in france it was in production forty years so it's a very nice idea to build a replica out of wood. that you know. the dish is always a symbol of french. the art of enjoying life to the fullest. michel's great adventure began five years ago with this two cd built in one nine hundred fifty three it was just rusting away. in

stones and our number four he himself says he's not a musician who also paints but a painter who also plays music before he began his musical career he attended art college in london. which is exhibited in europe america and asia his paintings sell for up to eight hundred thousand euros apiece and even his prints go for several thousand euros. our next musician's visual art is expressive and surreal. it's by one of the richest musicians in the world expedia paul mccartney. we give him third place among the musicians you probably didn't know also paint he said to have won an art prize in school at age eleven but critics aren't as enthusiastic about his current paintings some of them say they're just silly in sentimental.

these pictures can be called sentimental and there by another former beatle drummer gringo starr our number two. he says he was sitting bored in a hotel and began fooling around with a computer graphics program and that's how he came to visual art go star doesn't take himself too seriously as a visual artist but his works sell remarkably well. copies of graphics like zack named after his son sell for several thousand euros each. peter and the wolf the musical fairy tale by sergey poe coffee of has been interpreted frequently by among others the irish musician gavin friday as a cd and a book that was illustrated by friday's childhood friend bono of the band u two who
