Funeral
This sympathy card opens to reveal a tranquil, nature-inspired illustration that feels as peaceful as an early walk past the trees near Herne Hill station. Slender wildflower stems, topped with intricate, umbelliferous blooms, reach upward in delicate silhouettes. Their colours are hushed tones of violet, dusty lavender, soft blue, and silvery green, layered in transparent watercolour washes. The background dissolves into a breezy blend of muted purples and pale, mossy greys, with no sharp outlines, evoking a distant meadow seen through gentle morning mist. Among the airy flower heads, butterflies drift quietly, their wings rendered with the lightest touch, almost see-through, as if caught mid-flight in a soft wind coming off Brockwell Park. The composition is open and uncluttered, allowing space for reflection: fine lines, feathery petals, and graceful arches working together like a visual sigh. The light in the scene is calm and even, neither bright nor dark, creating an atmosphere of thoughtful pause and private remembrance. It feels like the kind of card chosen by someone in Herne Hill who wants to send quiet strength rather than drama, a companion piece to a simple spray of seasonal blooms delivered locally. Every detail, from the subdued palette to the fluid brushstrokes, suggests tenderness and empathy, offering a gentle way to say, "I am with you in this," when speaking about grief is difficult.
