Funeral
The artwork inside this sympathy card unfolds in the same quiet tones you might notice walking slowly through North Woolwich on a still, overcast afternoon. Tall, fine stems carry umbel-topped wildflowers upwards across the card, their heads drawn in intricate, lace-like clusters of lavender, muted indigo, and soft blue. They appear almost translucent, as though the flowers are gently illuminated from behind by a pale, diffused light, reminiscent of the sky reflected off the Thames by the ferry pier. Between these airy blooms, small butterflies are scattered, their wings only faintly defined, suggesting movement caught in a single moment rather than a busy flutter. The background is a blend of watercolour washes-purples sliding into silvery greens and smokey blues-that creates an impression of mist rolling over quiet streets and riverside paths. There is no strong horizon line or sharp contrast; everything melts together in gentle gradients that invite reflection rather than distraction. As a florist serving the North Woolwich community, accustomed to helping families choose flowers for funerals and times of mourning, I recognise the careful restraint in this design. It offers comfort without fanfare, much like a simple bouquet of soft-toned blooms delivered to a door in silence. The overall mood is tender and contemplative, a visual companion for those moments when grief feels raw but the presence of thoughtfully chosen sympathy flowers-and a card like this-can bring a small measure of peace.
