Funeral
This sympathy card presents a tranquil botanical illustration that feels akin to walking through a quiet Leyton side street after rain, when colours soften and sounds grow hushed. Tall, spidery wildflowers with umbel-shaped heads reach upwards, painted in dusky violets, indigo tones, and soft, silvery greens. Their stems are fine and slightly curved, giving each flower an airy, lace-like quality, as if the petals might shimmer and disappear into the light at any moment. The blooms rise from a gentle haze of watercolour that pools at the base in soft purple and grey-blue, then fades into a pale, misty sky. Two or three butterflies, transparent and delicately outlined, float near the flower heads, their wings lightly tinted with lavender and blue-grey, suggesting transformation, continuity, and the quiet presence of those we miss. The entire scene is bathed in diffuse light, reminiscent of a calm morning over Coronation Gardens, where shadows barely form and everything seems touched by a soft veil. The palette remains cool yet comforting, never harsh, inviting the eye to rest and the heart to breathe a little easier. Near the top of the design, a short, heartfelt sympathy message is inscribed in graceful, legible script, holding space for sorrow without pressing too hard. There is a sense that whoever sends this card is offering not just words but a moment of pause, like stepping away from the busyness of Leyton High Road to stand quietly among flowers. It feels like a thoughtful companion to a condolence bouquet, chosen with care and genuine understanding.
