Painting "Princess Pocahontas and John Rolfe"

Pop Art 3-D painter Jay Rolfe is shown here painting his 4 feet high version of his Pop Art 3-D painting "Princess Pocahontas and John Rolfe." Princess Pocahontas, daughter of Chief Powhatan (head chief of over 30 tribes), married John Rolfe on April 5, 1614, thus insuring a period of peace from Indian attacks for the Virginia settlers. John Rolfe secured permission from his Governor and from Chief Powhatan for his marriage to Pocahontas, and it took place in the Jamestown, Virginia church.

Small "Princess Pocahontas and John Rolfe Uncovered"

Today's photo is of Jay Rolfe's small size (for him) 3-D Pop Art painting titled "Princess Pocahontas and John Rolfe Uncovered." It is 3 feet tall, and the first to be completed of the four he is working on in different sizes. He finished the painting on Tuesday, took photos yesterday and intended to post one yesterday, but they turned out to be blurred - always use the tripod! Another set of photos today taken using the tripod did work out, and here's one of the photos.

Many people have heard of Princess Pocahontas and the false story of her saving the life of Captain John Smith when she was age 12 or less in 1607.

The really romantic and interesting story is that in 1614 Princess Pocahontas was captured by the Virginia colonists, held hostage near Jamestown, converted to Christianity and given the Christian name of Rebecca, and fell in love with the gentleman farmer who helped the minister teach her Christianity, and married the gentleman farmer, John Rolfe, with both the permission of her father, Chief or Emperor Powhatan, and the Governor of the Virginia colony. Two years later, Princess Pocahontas visited England with her husband John Rolfe and their son Thomas Rolfe. Princess Pocahontas and John Rolfe were received by the King and Queen of England.

"Princess Pocahontas and John Rolfe" 3-D Painting

Artist Jay Rolfe is shown here yesterday painting one of his new 3-D shaped stretched canvas paintings of "Princess Pocahontas and John Rolfe." As you may know from history, Princess Pocahontas married John Rolfe, not John Smith whom she met as a child, on April 5, 1614 in Jamestown, Virginia. They had one son, Thomas Rolfe, born January 30, 1615 (by coincidence, Jay Rolfe's date of birth is also January 30!). Jay Rolfe decided to create this painting after a visit to Jamestown, Virginia, this spring. Rolfe plans 3 "Princess Pocahontas and John Rolfe" paintings, 8 feet, 6 feet, and 4 feet high respectively.
