Funeral
This sympathy card features a refined, nature-inspired illustration that feels like a peaceful corner of Lisson Grove translated into delicate watercolour. From the bottom of the card, fine, tapering stems lift upwards with an effortless sweep, each one crowned by a cluster of umbelliferous blooms that fan out into tiny, star-like florets. The flowers are painted in cool, consoling tones: muted purples, gentle violets, soft cornflower blues, and touches of silvery green that suggest fresh foliage after a light rain. The artist uses a loose, fluid technique, allowing some petals and stems to melt into the background, as if they are part of a gentle morning mist rising over nearby Regent's Park. There is a feeling of movement, but it is slow and unhurried, like leaves turning in a faint breeze. Between the flower heads, there are faint silhouettes of additional stems and buds, paler and more transparent, which add depth and hint at a larger meadow beyond what we see. Hovering above the blooms, a couple of butterflies appear almost weightless, their wings edged in very soft shades of lavender and blue. They do not steal focus; they simply accompany the flowers, bringing a subtle message of hope and continuity. The background is a field of blended colours-lavender-grey, soft blue, hints of aqua-layered so seamlessly that they resemble the sky just before dusk over a quiet Lisson Grove side street. The whole composition is understated yet deeply felt, a gentle visual companion for a condolence message, offering serenity and support through the calm beauty of wildflowers and the lightest touch of colour.
