Funeral
Inside this sympathy card, a softly painted landscape of wildflowers and butterflies captures the reflective mood so familiar on quiet evenings around Vauxhall. Tall, willowy stems rise from the base of the design, each crowned with a lace-like umbel of tiny blossoms, rendered in diluted tones of violet, indigo, and pale blue that bleed delicately into one another. The colours sit on a gentle wash of silvery greens and muted lilacs, echoing the subdued hues of a cloudy sky over the nearby Thames. The flowers are not solid blocks of colour; instead, they appear almost transparent at the tips, allowing the subtle background gradients to shimmer through. Around them, the watercolour backdrop fades from cool lavender to soft grey-blue, leaving tender pockets of white space that create a feeling of breath and openness. Floating between the stems, semi-transparent butterflies drift with wings barely outlined, like fragments of a memory held lightly in the air. The light in the illustration is low and diffuse, touching every petal and leaf with a velvety calm and casting no harsh shadows. The scene suggests a peaceful meadow rather than a formal garden, an image of nature continuing quietly even in times of sorrow. This is the kind of card a local florist in Vauxhall would pair with a thoughtful sympathy wreath or sheaf, knowing that the recipient, whether near Nine Elms or around Albert Embankment, will feel the gentle care behind both the message and the design. It holds space for grief, but also for comfort, reflection, and the soft presence of hope.
