Funeral
The design inside this sympathy card feels like standing in a still corner of Lewisham's green spaces early in the morning, when everything is hushed and the light is soft. Slender stems of wild, umbelliferous flowers rise from the base of the image, painted in feathery silhouettes of violet, dusky blue, and cool grey-green. Each bloom is made up of tiny, filigree heads, spaced delicately so that air and light flow between them, giving a sense of movement even though the scene is perfectly still. Behind them, fluid watercolour washes drift across the card in layers of muted purple and silvery green, creating a tranquil, mist-like backdrop, similar to the way fog sometimes settles over Blackheath and the nearby streets of Lee. Transparent butterflies float gently among the blossoms, their wings only lightly outlined, as if they might dissolve back into the sky at any moment. The overall texture is soft and matte, with no strong shine, which adds to the feeling of quiet reflection. There is a sense that you could run your fingertips over the card and almost feel the gauzy petals and fine stems. The mood is compassionate and restrained: nothing shouts, everything whispers. It feels like a visual embrace for someone facing loss, the kind of card a Lee florist might tuck alongside a simple white and lilac sympathy arrangement. Beneath the image or nearby, simple words of condolence rest easily, supported rather than overshadowed by the gentle artwork, reminding the recipient that even in sorrow, there is a steady, comforting presence.
