Funeral
This sympathy card opens onto a scene that feels like a soft, reflective walk along the quieter edges of Old Oak Common, where wildflowers sway in the evening light. Tall, willowy stems carry intricate umbels of tiny florets, their forms echoing cow parsley or Queen Anne's lace, painted in veils of violet, dusty lilac, and silvery-blue green. The flowers are not bold or heavily outlined; instead they shimmer at the edges, as if seen through a light mist, their tips dissolving into the air. Behind them, broad washes of muted purple and dove grey blend seamlessly, like watercolour clouds after a passing shower, lending the whole design a hushed, contemplative tone. A few pale butterflies linger among the stems, their wings soft and almost transparent, suggesting the gentle presence of loved ones who are no longer physically here but still felt in small, quiet moments. The light over the scene is low and even, with no strong shadows, creating a sense of stillness and emotional space, much like pausing beside the trees near the railway in Old Oak Common to take a breath and remember. Above this delicate meadow, a simple message of sympathy appears in considered, flowing script, never overpowering the artwork. As someone who often curates condolence flowers and funeral tributes for local families, I recognise in this design that same balance of beauty and restraint. It feels like a card that could accompany a wreath, a spray, or a modest bouquet delivered with care to a service or home, expressing heartfelt condolences without overwhelming grief with colour or words.
