Funeral
This sympathy card opens to a serene, nature-inspired scene that feels as tranquil as an early stroll along Millfields Park in Lower Clapton. Tall, wiry stems of umbelliferous wildflowers lean and curve across the card, their tiny clustered blooms painted in soft purples, dusty blues, and muted silvery greens. Each flower head is drawn with delicate, lacy detail, giving the impression of fine embroidery or pressed flowers lovingly kept between pages of an old book. A gentle watercolour wash fills the background, fading from light lavender to cool grey-green, like an evening sky slowly closing over the marshes. Within this soft haze, faint suggestions of additional foliage and distant stems create depth without crowding the eye, allowing the main blooms to float in the foreground. Around them, a few ethereal butterflies drift, wings barely tinted with colour, suggesting movement, transformation, and the fragile continuity of life after loss. There is a quiet rhythm to the composition, each stem spaced thoughtfully, echoing the care a local florist might take when arranging a simple, elegant condolence bouquet for a family in E5. The palette is cool yet comforting, with no harsh edges or stark contrasts, just gentle gradients that soothe and invite reflection. The overall feeling is one of quiet companionship in grief, as though the flowers themselves are keeping vigil, offering a hushed but heartfelt message of support when words feel too small.
