Funeral
This sympathy card opens to a tranquil illustration that feels as serene as an early morning over the Thames by Island Gardens. Slender wildflower stems, tall and slightly wavering, stretch upward across the card, their heads formed of delicate umbel clusters that look almost like fine lace held against the sky. The blooms are rendered in gentle layers of violet, lilac, and soft indigo, with touches of silvery green foliage that seem to drift in from the edges like a passing breeze. The background is a wash of misty purples and cool grey-blues, blending softly together without hard lines, as if seen through a veil of light fog rolling in from the water. Among the stems, translucent butterflies hover and pause, their wings only lightly coloured, capturing that sense of presence without weight-like cherished memories returning for a moment. The light feels diffuse and comforting, with no harsh shadows, just a soothing glow that wraps the flowers in calm. The composition leaves gentle pockets of open space, allowing the eye-and the heart-to rest, much like sitting quietly in Mudchute Park to gather one's thoughts. As a florist serving the Isle of Dogs community, I recognise in this artwork a careful, respectful way of expressing sorrow and support. The card does not overwhelm; instead, its cool, muted palette and airy detailing offer a tender visual embrace, ideal for accompanying sympathy flowers delivered to local families, and for honouring a life with grace, reflection, and deep, unspoken care.
