pencil to paper

I am sketching women in various introspective situations for a series of small pieces I am making for Guardino Gallery in Portland.  I may be skirting dangerously close to Hallmark cards with these, but I am thrilled at how a few drawn lines and well chosen words can potentially open the door to complex and divergent stories.  What is this woman worried about? How did she build her boat?
