1980: In Bermuda, John Lennon admired paintings by American artist Nancy Gosnell, which hung in a home he was renting. He asked her to paint a portrait of Sean, then 4, and himself as a present for Yoko. The pair showed up in shorts and T-shirts, sat on the rug in the living room and she painted the scene as is.
Back in New York, the painting hung in Lennon and Ono's Dakota apartment, right above the piano.
John Lennon's arrival on the island was quite a shock for Nancy, who ended up painting a portrait of John and Sean. John had seen her paintings at a house that he rented from her friend Rolf Luthi, she explained. "He said: 'John would like to have a portrait of Sean painted as a present for Yoko.' I said: 'Oh wonderful, I can do that.' Then I heard John wanted to have his portrait in the painting as well," says Gosnell, who was always fully booked.
