Funeral
The artistry inside this sympathy card is subtle and contemplative, evoking the hush you might feel stepping into a calm corner of New Cross's green spaces on a hazy morning. Slender stems of wildflowers rise from the base of the image, each topped with delicate, umbel-shaped heads rendered in fine, almost feathery detail. Soft violets, muted indigo, and gentle lilac blend with cool, silvery greens, all laid down in transparent watercolor layers that allow the paper's texture to breathe through the colour. Some blossoms lean slightly, as if caught mid-sway, while others stand tall and upright, creating a natural, unforced rhythm across the card. Transparent butterflies drift among the blooms, their wings in pale lavender and soft blue barely distinguished from the background, as if they've just fluttered in on a light breeze from nearby parks. Behind them, the background is a field of calm, with washes of dusky purple and powder blue that gently blur into one another, suggesting distance and quiet without any hard edges. The mood is one of reflection and gentle support, much like the feeling I aim to convey when arranging sympathy flowers for families in New Cross-present, tender, but never overwhelming. At the top or alongside the floral illustration, a simple, sincere message is written in elegant script, its curves echoing the natural lines of the stems below. Together, the words, flowers, and butterflies create a composition that feels like a soft-spoken embrace, a way of saying, "You're not alone in your grief," with quiet grace and compassion.
