Funeral
This sympathy card presents a calm floral landscape, as if you were gazing across a misty meadow on a still morning in Stroud Green. Tall, willowy stems carry delicate umbel-shaped flower heads, their filigree outlines painted in layered tones of violet, lavender, powder blue, and soft grey-green. Nothing is heavy or dense; instead, each bloom feels airy and weightless, as though it might dissolve into the watercolour background at any moment. The paint is applied in gentle washes, creating drifting patches of colour that recall low clouds settling over Parkland Walk after a light drizzle. Among the stems, faint silhouettes of leaves and buds add depth, while two or three butterflies hover near the blossoms, their wings so lightly defined they seem almost transparent, evoking a sense of spirit and ongoing connection. The lighting in the illustration is diffuse and quiet, with no hard shadows, only a soothing glow that feels like late afternoon light filtering through trees on Stroud Green Road. Everything about the design speaks of compassion without drama: the cooler palette, the flowing lines, the uncluttered composition. It is the type of card a considerate neighbour might pick up from a trusted florist in the area when they wish to acknowledge someone's grief in a respectful, measured way. Rather than demand attention, the artwork offers a gentle pause, a moment of shared silence that honours both sorrow and the gradual return of peace.
