Funeral
The inside of this sympathy card reveals a serene, nature-inspired artwork that feels akin to standing at the edge of a still field on the outskirts of Northolt, wrapped in early morning haze. Tall, delicate wildflowers rise in loose clusters, their stems long and fine, like pencil lines softened with a wash of watercolour. At their tops, umbel-shaped flower heads open into filigree bursts of muted violet, heather purple, and soft blue, mingling with wisps of pale green foliage. The blossoms are semi-transparent, allowing the background tones of silvery greens and misty lavenders to show through, giving the whole composition a layered, ethereal effect. Floating among the blossoms, a few butterflies drift in mid-air, their wings shaded in the same cool palette, rendered with such lightness that they seem almost like fleeting thoughts or memories passing gently by. Behind them, a gentle wash of colour spreads across the card-soft purples, powdered blues, and subtle greys bleed into one another, reminiscent of distant trees and sky blurred by a fine veil of mist. There is no sharp contrast, only a gradual transition between hues, which lends the design a contemplative, almost meditative character. Ample white space is left above and between the flowers, allowing text and image to breathe side by side, never overwhelming the senses. As a florist who regularly helps Northolt families choose sympathy flowers for delivery to homes and local chapels, I recognise in this card the same quiet strength people seek in times of loss: it is tender but not fragile, soothing yet sincere, offering a gentle visual embrace when hearts feel raw.
