Funeral
This sympathy card opens onto a serene, nature-led illustration that feels as if it were painted in the stillness of an early Penge morning. Tall, spidery stems of umbelliferous flowers rise in loose groups from the base, their lace-like heads traced in soft violets, lilacs, and cool blue tones, with hints of silvery green foliage at their feet. Each flower head is intricate yet airy, like a cross between cow parsley and Queen Anne's lace, the fine lines fading subtly at the tips so they seem to dissolve into the soft watercolour background. Behind them, translucent washes of lavender, powder blue, and misty grey blend together, evoking the hush of a quiet field just beyond Alexandra Recreation Ground at dawn. Among the flowers, delicate butterflies drift, their wings rendered in pale, transparent layers that suggest they could lift away at any moment on a breath of wind. The light in the illustration is diffuse and forgiving, without harsh edges or bright highlights, creating an atmosphere of calm reflection and gentle empathy. There is a tactile softness to the painted petals and stems, as though you might feel their feathery texture under your fingertips. The overall palette remains cool yet comforting, perfect for a funeral or memorial card chosen with care. As someone who regularly arranges sympathy flowers for services across Penge and the surrounding streets, I recognise in this design the quiet support families often seek: a visual whisper of understanding, composed of flowers, butterflies, and muted colour that offers solace without overwhelming the heart.
