Funeral
This sympathy card presents a softly painted scene that feels like early morning mist settling over a peaceful corner of Norbury. Slender, umbel-topped wildflowers rise gracefully from the base of the image, their stems fine and slightly curved, rendered in gentle tones of violet, cool blue, and muted sage green. Each flower head is a filigree of tiny, lace-like blossoms, semi-transparent at the edges, giving the design a light, breathing quality, as if a breeze from Norwood Grove has just touched them. The background is a watercolour wash of smoky purples, lilacs, and silvery greens, merging gently without hard lines, creating the impression of distant fields fading into soft, reflective light. Among the blooms, several diaphanous butterflies drift quietly, their wings so delicately coloured in pale lavender and blue-grey that they seem to shimmer rather than stand still, suggesting transformation and the gentle continuity of life. The atmosphere of the artwork is calm and cocooning, like the stillness of an overcast evening on Norbury High Street once the day's bustle has faded. There is space in the composition-pockets of pale sky-toned colour around the flowers-that invites the eye, and the heart, to rest. As someone who works with sympathy flowers for local families, I recognise in this card a visual language of compassion: nothing is loud, every shape is soft-edged, and the cool, comforting palette supports quiet remembrance. Paired with a simple condolence message and perhaps a modest bouquet, it offers a gentle, dignified way to say you are holding someone in your thoughts.
