Funeral
This funeral sympathy card presents a peaceful, nature-inspired scene that feels surprisingly at home amid the old brick walls and hidden courtyards around Spitalfields. A cluster of tall, fine-stemmed wildflowers rises from the base of the card, their umbelliferous heads drawn with exquisite filigree detail. Each bloom is formed by tiny star-like florets arranged in gentle arcs, shaded in soft lavender, dusky violet, and muted blue, with touches of silvery green along the stems. The petals and flower heads are light at the edges, almost ghostlike, creating a gauzy, transparent effect that suggests movement in a breeze you cannot see. Hovering among and above these stems, a few butterflies appear to glide quietly, their wings outlined just enough to be visible against the hazy backdrop. They are painted in cool, understated tones-subtle greys, pale violets, and washed-out blues-offering the soft symbolism of transformation and enduring presence. The background itself is a smooth gradient of watercolour washes, flowing from gentle purple into misty blue and green, like the sky softening above Commercial Street as evening draws in. Nothing in the image shouts for attention; instead, there is a steady, contemplative calm. The composition allows patches of open space where the eye can rest, reflecting the emotional room needed during mourning. It is easy to imagine this card chosen in Spitalfields to accompany a modest funeral arrangement, its elegant, cool-toned palette providing a tender, respectful way to convey sympathy and support to someone navigating the early days of grief.
