vice prezzies


Thomas Jefferson was our second vice president. For this one I stopped using colored pencils, and—I know it’s crazy—I experimented with the background. Since I usually just leave the background white, this is a huge departure for me. What do you think?
(Based on the painting by Rembrandt Peal.)

I like colored backgrounds- helps to set mood. This seems to me like it was painted to show Jefferson deliberating, and then eventually deciding, that his vice president, Aaron Burr must be tried for treason. Right?
