The linework is smooth and even with some variation in stroke weight, and the lettering is set on a plain skin background with soft, even lighting. The composition is tightly framed on the skin, with the text running diagonally across the image.

So I am writing to say the lease on the cottage ends in March, and I have said yes to the mainland job, and the boys will come with me on the Tuesday ferry whatever they think of it. I am not asking you to come. I am only asking you to stop looking at the sea for a sign and to start looking at the road. Family is the one word I am sure of. Yours, Catriona.
