Funeral
Opening this sympathy card feels like stepping into a quiet corner of West Harrow at dawn, when the streets are still and front gardens glisten softly. The illustration is a delicate study in nature's gentlest forms: tall, spindly umbellifer flowers stretch upwards in a scattering of fine stems, their lace-like heads rendered in muted purples, dusky blues, and soft silvery greens. The paint behaves like a morning mist, with watercolour washes bleeding into one another, so the background becomes a dreamy haze rather than a solid block of colour. The flower heads are only partially defined, some edges dissolving into the air, which creates a wonderful sense of calm movement, as if a light breeze were drifting along Vaughan Road. Transparent butterflies, barely outlined, float near the blossoms, their wings tinted with hints of lavender and sky blue, like fragments of a fading rainbow. The atmosphere is hushed and reflective, much like the quiet you feel walking past West Harrow's tree-lined streets on a still afternoon. There is no clutter or bright contrast, only gentle gradients and soft light that invite a deep, unhurried breath. As a local florist, I see in this design a sensitive understanding of grief: it doesn't shout; it rests beside you, offering comfort through familiar, natural beauty. This card suits those moments when you want to say, "I'm here, I understand," and allow the subtle artwork to speak in soft tones on your behalf.
