Funeral
The sympathy card shown here unfolds like a soft watercolour memory, reminiscent of the misty mornings that settle over Mitcham Common. Across the front and inner panel, slender wildflower stems stretch upward with effortless grace, topped with intricate, umbrella-like clusters of tiny blooms. Their forms are drawn in fine, filigree detail, then washed with muted violets, lilacs, and blue-grey tones that melt into one another, creating an impression of distant meadows veiled in light fog. The flowers appear partly transparent, their outlines dissolving gently into a background of silvery greens and dusky purples, as though you're looking through a hazy window at nature quietly at rest. Between the stems, a few ethereal butterflies hover, their wings so delicately shaded they feel almost like a breath on the page, suggesting transformation, remembrance, and the tender presence of those we've lost. The light is soft and diffuse, with no hard shadows, as if filtered through an overcast sky. This soothing palette and airy composition mirror the stillness you might find walking slowly by the Wandle or along a quiet side street off London Road, taking time to think and feel. As a florist in Mitcham, accustomed to arranging sympathy flowers with care and sensitivity, I see in this card the same gentle intention: a respectful, understated expression of condolence that doesn't overwhelm, but accompanies your message like a calm, steady hand. Every detail invites a pause, a breath, and a moment of quiet reflection.
