Funeral
Opening this sympathy card reveals a gentle watercolour landscape, as calming as an early walk through Downhills Park on a still, overcast morning in West Green. Delicate wildflower stems, tall and slender, stretch upward from the lower edge of the card, each crowned with tiny umbelliferous blooms rendered in soft violets, muted purples and touches of dusky blue. Their lacy flower heads appear almost translucent, as if caught in a light breeze, with the tips fading into a mist of silvery green and pale grey. The background is a dreamy wash of colour, blending lavender, heather and hints of cool blue into a soft haze that suggests distant fields at dawn. Floating lightly among the stems, a few butterflies drift with semi-transparent wings, their subtle outlines barely breaking the calm, offering a quiet symbol of transformation, remembrance and ongoing presence. There is a lovely balance between detail and space: the flowers are intricate yet never overwhelming, leaving gentle breathing room around the composition so the eye can rest, much like the peaceful corners off West Green Road where time seems to slow. The lighting feels diffuse and comforting, with no harsh contrasts, just a steady, muted glow that wraps the illustration in serenity. Above the floral scene, a short condolence message appears in graceful script, conveying sympathy without flourish. As a local florist who often helps families choose funeral tributes and condolence cards, I see in this design the same sensitivity we bring to our arrangements: soft colour, natural elegance and a heartfelt wish to ease someone's grief, perfectly suited to accompany sympathy flowers delivered in and around West Green.
