Funeral
The artwork inside this sympathy card resembles a gentle watercolour memory, not unlike the misty mornings that settle over the green spaces around West Wickham. Across the card, graceful, reed-like stems rise from the base, their tips crowned with umbelliferous flower clusters drawn as fine, filigree silhouettes. These blooms are brushed in tonal shades of violet, soft heather, blue-grey, and silvery green, creating a palette that is cool yet quietly reassuring. The edges of each flower head seem to fade into the air, as though the petals are dissolving into light, giving the scene a sense of movement without any urgency. In the spaces between the blossoms, faint butterflies float, their translucent wings picked out with the slightest hint of colour, as if they have just lifted off from the petals below. The background is a blurred wash of violet and sage, reminiscent of distant hedgerows seen through soft rain along the residential streets leading away from West Wickham High Street. Nothing in the composition is sharp or demanding; instead, each element works together to create an atmosphere of hushed reflection and gentle sympathy. The painting invites the viewer to pause, breathe, and sit quietly with their feelings. For a local florist who regularly prepares condolence flowers for services and family homes, this design feels deeply attuned to the needs of those in mourning-a card that doesn't try to fill the silence, but honours it. It pairs beautifully with understated funeral arrangements, extending a sense of compassion and thoughtfulness through its delicate, nature-inspired imagery.
