Funeral
This sympathy card is painted as though the artist has captured a still, reflective walk through Sydenham's quieter lanes at dusk. Fine, spindly wildflower stems rise from the base of the card, each topped with intricate umbel-shaped heads that resemble lacework against a gentle sky. The palette is restrained and deeply soothing: layered violets, soft indigos, and dusty blues flow into each other, with hints of silvery green where the foliage thins and disappears into the background. The colours bleed delicately like watercolour rain on textured paper, creating a faint impression of a meadow beyond, the way trees blur together when seen from the edge of Mayow Park. Butterflies drift among the blooms, scarcely more than gossamer outlines, their wings touched with translucent purples and cool blues. They appear mid-hover, as if caught in a light breeze, suggesting the fragile yet enduring nature of memory. Above the floral silhouettes, a simple sympathy message is written in a gentle cursive script, its curves echoing the bend of the flower stems. There is no harsh contrast, only soft transitions and quiet space, mirroring the calm we seek when saying goodbye at local services around Sydenham. You can almost feel the feathery texture of the petals and the smooth grain of the card under your fingertips. The artwork offers not just visual beauty but emotional shelter, like stepping briefly away from the bustle of Sydenham Road to gather your thoughts. It's a design that speaks with subtlety and compassion, making it a thoughtful companion to flowers sent in remembrance.
