-i should have been there. -it would have changed nothing...
thomas x martha
so... this drawing takes place when he just came back home after the 2nd continental congress (the one that ratified the Declaration of Independance), a congress he wanted, in fact, to leave as soon as possible, because a congress during which Martha had a miscarriage and stayed into bed during weeks, too weak and ill *away from him*
my previous work with these two: 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8
- note: my scanner is broken so i took a picture of the drawings... that explains the creepy quality :/ and i love using this palette of colors with them. something simple this time. lineart: [link]
It's Thomas and Martha Jefferson. Thomas Jefferson was one of the authors of the American Declaration of Independence and the third president of the United states who had a beautiful and tragic love story with his wife (Which these pictures have made me aware of. So lovely and sad!)
I'm reading 50 shades of Grey and they remind me of Mr. Grey and Miss Steele and their delicate relationship<3
thank you
