Funeral
The illustration inside this sympathy card unfolds like a soft, painted echo of the natural beauty around West Wickham's green spaces. From a base of silvery greens and misty purples, tall, slender stems of wildflowers emerge, each topped with filigree umbels that resemble tiny lace parasols. The artist has used a palette of violets, pale blues, and cool lavender, allowing the shades to bleed and overlap in translucent layers that suggest early morning light filtering through a thin haze. Some flowers arc gracefully, others stand upright, but all share a delicacy that makes them appear almost weightless. Threaded between these stems, a few butterflies glide in gentle paths, their wings ghosted in pale washes so that they seem to hover somewhere between the foreground and the softened background. This background itself is a dreamy blend of muted colour, with no hard horizon line, evoking the feeling of looking across a meadow touched by dawn or twilight. The mood is quietly contemplative, tender without being sentimental, like the silence you might feel pausing on a bench near West Wickham Recreation Ground when gathering your thoughts. The card's design does not shout its message; instead, it offers a steady, calm presence, much like the comfort of a neighbour's kind gesture. As someone used to arranging sympathy flowers for local families, I see how this artwork mirrors the gentle support we aim to convey-a sympathetic landscape in cool, calming tones that sits beautifully alongside a funeral tribute or condolence bouquet, offering wordless reassurance and heartfelt respect.
