Funeral
The design of this funeral sympathy card evokes the kind of peaceful stillness you might feel walking near Mottingham's tree-lined streets on a cool evening. Tall, spidery wildflower stems stretch upward across a ground of washed violets, lilacs, and powdery blue, their umbel-shaped blooms painted in fine, feathery strokes. Each flower head is composed of many tiny, lace-like florets that appear almost weightless, as though they could sway with the slightest breath of wind. The background is a soft watercolour gradient, drifting from dusky purple into silvery green, with blurred patches that mimic distant foliage seen through morning mist. Two or three butterflies hover gently among the blooms, their wings rendered in transparent layers of soft blue and grey, giving the impression they might take flight at any moment. The light within the artwork is diffused and gentle, without harsh shadows, bathing everything in a tranquil glow that suggests quiet remembrance rather than sorrow alone. This scene, though still, feels alive with subtle motion - stems leaning, petals tilting, wings poised - like nature holding a vigil. It is the sort of card a thoughtful resident might choose from a Mottingham florist when words are difficult, allowing the cool, calming colours and the calm meadow imagery to express sympathy and support with grace, dignity, and heartfelt care.
