Funeral
Inside this sympathy card, the artwork opens like a soft breath over St James's at daybreak. Tall umbelliferous flowers, with their fine, reaching stems and lace-like heads, rise from a base of cool, watercolour tones-muted purples, gentle lilacs, and silvery greens that flow together in feathery gradients. The effect is reminiscent of an early walk by the edge of St James's Park, when the light is just beginning to soften the outlines of trees and borders. Each bloom is rendered with delicate precision yet kept intentionally translucent at the edges, giving a feeling of movement, as if the plants are swaying in a light, sympathetic wind. Floating among them, butterflies appear in faint washes of violet and blue, their wings barely defined, like fleeting thoughts of someone dearly missed. They hover without urgency, suggesting an enduring presence that is felt rather than seen. The background carries no harsh contrast-just layers of gentle colour that settle the eye and invite a pause. As a local florist working with bereaved families around St James's, I recognise in this illustration the calm dignity and softness that many people seek when words alone cannot comfort. The design carries a sense of respect and quiet understanding, making the card a fitting partner to funeral and sympathy flowers delivered throughout the neighbourhood. It offers a visual space where grief can rest, supported by nature's delicate forms and the unspoken promise that love remains woven through every memory.
