Funeral
This sympathy card opens to a quiet, contemplative landscape of stylised wildflowers, painted with the lightness of a morning mist drifting over Battersea's tree-lined streets. Tall, thread-thin stems stretch upward, each crowned with an umbel of tiny florets that look almost lace-like where they brush the soft watercolour sky. The palette is restrained yet comforting: layers of violet, muted purple, and powdery blue melting into pale grey and silvery green, like reflections on the Thames at dusk. The flowers themselves are rendered in delicate silhouettes, their edges slightly blurred, which lends the scene a dreamlike quality, as though you are looking at a meadow through a veil of memory. Among the stems, translucent butterflies hover and turn, their wings tinted with gentle blues and lilacs, suggesting movement and transformation without disturbing the card's stillness. Light seems to come from nowhere and everywhere at once, diffused across the background so that nothing feels harsh or stark. The mood is reflective rather than dramatic, ideal for those moments of quiet remembrance after a funeral or memorial in Battersea or nearby Clapham. As a florist familiar with how families here wish to convey support, I sense how this design offers solace: its nature-inspired tableau carries the understanding that grief takes time, and that, like these simple field flowers, memories endure with a soft, enduring grace that needs no loud colour to be deeply felt.
