Funeral
Opening this sympathy card feels a little like stepping out from the quiet streets of Lisson Grove onto a misty path in nearby Regent's Park at first light. A cluster of tall, slender wildflowers rises from the base of the design, their filigree, umbelliferous heads rendered in soft violets, cool blues, and gentle grey-greens that blend into each other like watercolour on wet paper. The stems are so fine they seem to quiver, as if caught in a light breeze drifting along the canal. Around them, small butterflies hover with wings tinted in transparent lavender and silvery lilac, barely outlined, as though they might disappear if you looked away for too long. The background is a hazy wash of pale purples and muted greens, with no hard edges, just soft transitions that suggest distant foliage and a quiet, open sky. As a florist used to arranging thoughtful funeral flowers for churches and chapels around Marylebone, I notice the same gentle restraint here: nothing shouts for attention, yet every detail is deeply considered. The design invites slow looking, like watching dusk settle over a calm garden. Light in the illustration is diffuse and comforting, creating mild shadows behind the stems and giving the butterflies a floating presence. The overall mood is one of compassion and calm reflection, the kind of silent support that accompanies a neighbour home from a funeral service in Lisson Grove - present, respectful, and ready to hold space for memories.
