Funeral
This sympathy card opens to a gentle, dreamlike illustration that feels as soothing as standing beside the still water in Beddington Park on a calm evening in Wallington. Tall, slender wildflower stems rise from the base of the card, their umbel-shaped blooms rendered in fine, sketch-like lines and delicate washes of violet, dusky lilac, and silvery blue-green. Each flower head appears almost weightless, with tiny florets that fade into the background as if dissolving into mist, evoking both fragility and quiet resilience. The light in the scene is diffuse and soft, much like an overcast sky just after a light rain, leaving the petals and stems subtly illuminated without any harsh contrast. Around the flowers, faintly drawn butterflies hover and drift, their wings suggested rather than fully defined, giving the sense of motion caught in a single, peaceful moment. The background is a fluid expanse of watercolour, where purples and greens melt seamlessly into one another, creating an atmosphere of stillness and reflection. There are no bold lines or vivid colours vying for attention; instead, the palette and composition invite the eye to rest and the heart to breathe. As someone used to designing sympathy tributes for local families, I can feel in this artwork the same gentle intention we bring to our condolence arrangements: offering comfort without intrusion, a quiet presence rather than a grand gesture. It's a card that seems to say, in its own soft way, that support is near, even when words are hard to find.
