Funeral
The front of this sympathy card carries a gentle, nature-inspired scene that feels perfectly suited to a reflective walk through Lee's tree-lined streets. Slender, almost thread-like stems emerge from the bottom edge, reaching upward to support delicate, lace-style umbels painted in layered tones of lavender, dusky blue, and muted green. These flower heads are made up of tiny dots and strokes, giving them an airy, almost feathery texture, like wildflowers caught in a soft-focus photograph. Behind them, the background is washed with watercolour shades of pale violet and silvery sage, merging so smoothly that no single area draws the eye too strongly; instead, everything works together to create a calm, enveloping mood. Scattered lightly among the blossoms are a few translucent butterflies, their wings brushed in soft blues and greys, as if they've just lifted from the grass in Manor House Gardens at first light. They hover without urgency, suggesting quiet presence and the continuity of love beyond loss. There is generous white space around the flowers, giving the impression of openness and breathable calm. As someone who often arranges sympathy flowers for homes around Lee and nearby Grove Park, I recognise how this artwork holds the same thoughtful balance as a well-composed condolence spray - expressive but restrained. The colours are cool and soothing, inviting the recipient to pause, to read the simple message of sympathy, and to feel supported but not crowded. Overall, it is a tender visual gesture, conveying heartfelt condolences through the language of subtle colour, fine line work, and the enduring beauty of wildflowers.
