Funeral
Inside this sympathy card, the artwork unfolds like a soft exhale, filled with the stillness of an early morning stroll through Brunswick Park in New Southgate. Wispy, lace-like flower heads rise delicately from the base, each umbelliferous cluster painted in quiet tones of violet, blue, and soft slate. Their stems are fine and gently arching, drawn with a light touch so that the blossoms appear almost weightless, as if they're barely anchored to the earth. Behind them, the background glows with soft watercolour washes - layers of muted lavender, silvery green, and pale blue - blending into one another like mist drifting across open grass. Transparent butterflies flutter among the blooms, wings suggested with the faintest outline, giving the feeling of movement in still air, of comforting spirits nearby. The overall texture looks like watercolour laid onto smooth, slightly textured card, inviting the fingertips to linger. Above the floral silhouettes, a simple, sincere sympathy message rests unobtrusively, allowing the image to carry much of the emotion. The palette is calm and reflective, evoking quiet understanding and a sense of shared tenderness rather than stark sorrow. As a local florist serving families around New Southgate station and the residential streets nearby, I see how this card harmonises beautifully with soft, natural condolence flowers, especially when delivered to a grieving home. Together, they create a gentle gesture of support - understated, thoughtful, and deeply respectful of the moments when words are hardest to find.
