Funeral
This sympathy card unfolds like a quiet remembrance shared after a funeral gathering in Walworth, perhaps on a peaceful walk home past the trees near Elephant and Castle. Across the front stretches a delicate illustration of wild, umbelliferous blooms, their tall stems rendered in fine lines of dusky violet and cool grey-green. Each flower head is a lacework of tiny dots and feathery petals, so lightly painted that they almost fade into the softly washed background of lilac, silver and blue. The colours flow like watercolour left to wander on textured paper, creating gentle clouds of tone that suggest distant fields under a calm, overcast sky. Among the slender branches, butterflies appear in soft outline, their wings barely tinted - more like tender memories than solid forms - hovering just above the blossoms. The light across the image is diffuse, with no hard shadows, giving the impression of a still, reflective afternoon where time seems to slow. White space is thoughtfully preserved, wrapping the flowers in quiet air and granting the eye room to breathe, much as a few moments of silence might comfort a grieving friend. The message of sympathy, set above the floral silhouettes in an elegant but unobtrusive script, complements rather than competes with the artwork. As someone who arranges condolence flowers for families across Walworth, I see in this card the same intention we bring to our funeral tributes: to express love and support with softness, dignity and a touch of nature's enduring grace.
