Teekamp’s Lennon Paintings in eBay Charity Auction
Recognised the world over as a "Spirit Painter", Peter Teekamp has been painting for more than thirty-five years and is now a Washington state resident. As a muralist, he has travelled to several countries, leaving positive messages behind on walls and canvas.
Twenty five years ago, Teekamp was moved by the death of John Lennon to paint the portrait, “12 Faces and Phases of John”, in tribute to the star’s memory.
Now, the painting is to be auctioned on eBay.com starting at 5pm Thursday December 8th. eBay’s Giving Works Missionfish organisation will be the channel through which Teekamp is donating 50% of the sale proceeds to the American Red Cross.
Peter said of the painting, "When I found out about John leaving this earth, I was shocked and disappointed for the human race. Of all people, why him, this peacemaker and by a fan asking for an autograph? Shot down in front of his home after a hard day's work, in the middle of his comeback, recording his new album 'Starting Over.' I felt a direct inspiration to paint him at that moment. With tears in my eyes, hearing the radio play 'Imagine' over and over again, I started to paint the faces and phases of John's life in spirit."
A second painting, created by Teekamp this year, "All you need is Love", will also be auctioned, with 100% of the proceeds being donated to the American Red Cross.
