Funeral
The design of this sympathy card has the calm, reflective quality of an early morning walk through the planted walkways of Nine Elms, before the city fully wakes. Fine, willowy stems of wildflowers reach upwards, each crowned with an umbel of tiny, intricate florets rendered in shades of lavender, indigo, and muted blue. The petals are feather-soft and almost transparent, allowing the cool background wash of purples and silvery greens to glow through them like light catching on river mist. Around the blossoms, two faintly sketched butterflies drift as though stirred by the gentlest breeze, their wings tinted with the same hushed palette. The background itself has a watercolour softness, fading from deeper violet at the base to a pale, almost luminous haze near the top, giving a sense of air and space much like the open views along the Thames Path. As someone who creates sympathy arrangements for local families, I recognise the intention in this artwork: nothing feels heavy or overdone. Instead, the card offers a quiet place to pause, breathe, and remember. The composition is carefully balanced, the stems leaning and curving just enough to create rhythm without clutter. Light seems to filter softly across the scene, smoothing harsh edges and echoing that gentle, understanding tone we try to bring to every condolence bouquet delivered around Nine Elms. The handwritten-style message of sympathy sits above or beside the flowers in a tender script, adding words to the picture's silent promise of compassion, presence, and enduring care.
