Funeral
The front of this funeral sympathy card is a serene study in wildflowers and soft light, reminiscent of the tranquil stretches of Woodside Park when the air is cool and still. Tall, fine stems rise from a barely defined ground, their upward movement creating a sense of gentle lift, as though the flowers themselves are offering a quiet blessing. Atop each stem, umbel-shaped flower heads open like delicate umbrellas, made up of countless tiny florets in tones of lavender, violet, and faded blue, skimmed with touches of silvery green. The artist has used translucent watercolour washes, allowing some areas to deepen into richer purples while others dissolve into near-transparent veils, giving the flowers a hovering, weightless quality. Among them, a few butterflies appear, their pale wings barely more than a whisper of colour, suggesting movement yet never disturbing the card's overall stillness. The background is softly blurred, with a blend of cool blues, lilacs, and soft greys that could be likened to a distant tree line or meadow seen through morning mist. Ambient light seems to filter evenly across the design, smoothing harsh contrasts and inviting slow, thoughtful looking. Nothing is crowded; the composition leaves space for breath, reflection, and the heartfelt messages that are often so difficult to put into words. This card would sit gracefully beside a funeral wreath or a simple bouquet sent to a home in Woodside Park, offering its recipient a small island of calm and the comforting symbolism of nature quietly enduring.
