Funeral
The illustration inside this sympathy card feels like a misty morning over Chiswick's riverside gardens, where everything is hushed and softened by light. Wispy wildflowers rise from the base of the design, their umbel-shaped heads spreading into tiny, lace-like clusters rendered in cool violets, dusky blues, and soft lavender tones. Each stem is slender and slightly curved, as if caught in a gentle breeze winding its way from Turnham Green, the colour fading at the tips so the flowers appear to dissolve into the background. Layers of watercolour wash create a field of muted purples and silvery greens behind the blooms, with no hard edges, just a gradual blending of shades that gives a sense of depth without any heaviness. Among the blossoms, transparent butterflies drift with wings barely outlined, their pale tones of lilac and smoke-grey suggesting fleeting movement and fragile hope. There is a tactile softness in the way the flowers are painted that makes you imagine brushing your fingertips over fine petals and feather-light stems. Above this serene scene, a simple, heartfelt message rests in unobtrusive lettering, leaving space for personal feelings to surface. The card doesn't shout; it sits quietly, much like a sympathetic presence beside you during a difficult moment. As someone used to crafting thoughtful funeral arrangements for families across Chiswick and the surrounding neighbourhoods, I see in this design an echo of that same compassion: a gentle visual embrace that acknowledges sorrow while offering a calm, steady sense of support.
