Funeral
This sympathy card opens onto a serene, nature-filled scene that feels as calm and contemplative as a slow walk through Mortlake's quieter back streets towards the river. Delicate wildflowers with umbelliferous blooms rise in slender arcs across the page, their stems as fine as threads, painted in translucent shades of violet, lilac, and soft blue. Each cluster of tiny florets is suggested with lace-like detail, so airy that they seem to merge with the misty background of pale purples and silvery greens. The watercolour washes are fluid and seamless, evoking a light drizzle clearing to a gentle, pearly sky. A pair of butterflies, almost ghostlike in their transparency, drift above and between the blooms. Their wings, touched with muted indigo and smoke-blue, are only lightly outlined, as if they might vanish at any moment into memory. The flowers lean and curve subtly, echoing the bend of the nearby Thames and the wind that moves through gardens along Sheen Lane. Softer, blurred foliage sits behind the main stems, giving an impression of a quiet meadow without defining every leaf, allowing the eye - and the heart - room to rest. There is no bright glare here, only diffused light, like a calm morning after rain. The card's design carries an unspoken message of support, reflecting the sensitivity and care a local Mortlake florist brings when helping families choose sympathy flowers and cards. It suggests remembrance and presence without heaviness, offering a tender, visual embrace for someone navigating grief.
