Funeral
The artwork on this sympathy card opens like a window onto a peaceful, dreamlike meadow, painted in soothing tones of muted purple, soft blue, and washed-out green that would not feel out of place in the early morning light over Millfields Park in Upper Clapton. Tall, slender wildflowers with umbel-shaped heads stretch upwards, their stems so fine and airy they seem almost weightless. Each flower head is rendered with filigree detail, tiny clusters of petals and seed heads forming lace-like silhouettes against a gently blurred background. The watercolour wash behind them drifts from cool lilacs into pale, silvery greens, as if mist were hanging low over the grass. Among the delicate stems, semi-transparent butterflies appear mid-flight, wings faintly patterned and caught at different angles, suggesting a quiet, unhurried movement through the stillness. There is no harsh contrast here, only soft transitions and understated elegance, echoing the subtle rhythms of our local canal paths and residential streets at dusk. The composition creates a space for reflection, where grief can rest without being rushed or crowded by strong colour or bold shapes. Though the scene is simple, it feels thoughtfully composed, as if every stem and fluttering wing has been placed to offer comfort. From the perspective of a florist in Upper Clapton, this card carries the same gentle reassurance as a hand-tied condolence bouquet: a respectful, nature-inspired way to show someone that their loss is seen, and that care lingers, quietly, by their side.
