I have recently been refining the narrative threads that weave through my current series of paintings about pirates Anne Bonny and Calico Jack.
Specifically, I have decided that the title of the series of thirteen paintings I am in the process of creating is 'Chapter One: The Romance.' The working title prior to this had simply been 'Anne Bonny,' which didn't seem complete or complex enough to me.
Of course, this title implies more chapters to come, each anchored in a personal contemporary archetype and played by myself. The series of four chapters will work together to create a metaphorical life cycle. The overarching title of all four parts is simply 'Perfection.'
For now, in Chapter One: The Romance, I am focusing on the love affair between Calico Jack and Anne Bonny: devotion, fierce love and the unity of their combined power is the subject matter at hand.
