Funeral
This sympathy card presents a serene botanical illustration that feels as gentle as a walk through a calm side street off Wood Green's vibrant High Road after the rain. Slender, spidery stems reach upwards, crowned with airy umbels of tiny blossoms in layered tones of lavender, violet, and powder blue, their outlines soft and feathered like distant wildflowers seen through early morning haze. The artist's watercolour technique allows the colours to bleed into one another-silvery greens dissolving into muted purples-evoking that quiet in-between light you sometimes glimpse over Palmers Green at dawn. Two or three butterflies, barely more than ethereal outlines, drift among the flower heads, their translucent wings capturing the suggestion of movement, like a comforting presence that lingers close during times of grief. Behind them, the background is a wash of blurred, cool tones, free of hard edges, creating a sense of space and calm that lets the eyes and the heart rest. Above the floral silhouettes, a simple condolence message is written in a refined script, its softness matching the artwork's tender tone. The overall impression is not of decoration, but of a thoughtful, nature-inspired tribute, the kind you might pair with a delicate funeral spray or a single, elegant wreath delivered to a Wood Green chapel or home. As a florist who often supports local families at difficult moments, I recognise in this design that quiet understanding we seek in sympathy flowers: a way of saying "I'm here, I remember, I care," without overwhelming the person who receives it.
