Funeral
The artwork inside this sympathy card feels like a calm, reflective pause-much like standing on a still morning near the quieter streets of Rush Green, when the world hasn't quite awakened. Tall, fine stems rise from the lower edge of the image, carrying intricate umbel-shaped flower heads that open like tiny fireworks of lace. They are painted in cool tones of violet, soft blue, and silver-tinged green, with each bloom so lightly sketched that it seems to hover just above the paper. Around these airy flowers, butterflies drift with an almost transparent grace, their wings faintly dusted with lavender and blue, suggesting a tender sense of movement and the quiet presence of hope. The background is a seamless wash of watercolour, fading from gentle purples to blue-greys and pale greens, reminiscent of evening light settling over nearby parks and gardens. Delicate hints of foliage and meadow-like forms linger in the distance, never sharp, as though seen through a soft veil of memory. There are no strong shadows, only a diffuse glow that lends the scene an atmosphere of compassion and calm. As a florist here in Rush Green, familiar with the intimate moments when families choose tributes for a funeral or memorial, I see in this card a respectful restraint and a deep kindness. The design does not overwhelm; instead, it sits softly beside your emotions, offering a visual expression of sympathy and support that is dignified, soothing, and sincerely felt.
