Funeral
Opening this sympathy card reveals a tender, nature-inspired illustration that feels as soft as mist over the early morning rooftops of Kilburn. A cluster of fine, umbelliferous wildflowers stretches upwards, their slender stems and lacy flower heads painted in transparent layers of lilac, violet, and powdered blue, with suggestions of silvery green at the base. The flower forms are delicate but confident, like resilient wild plants that survive year after year along quiet garden paths off Willesden Lane. Some of the petals appear almost translucent, as if lit from behind by a pale, forgiving light. Across this gentle meadow scene, two or three butterflies drift between the stems, rendered in the lightest of outlines. They seem to hover mid-air, a symbol of hope and the enduring presence of those we've loved. The background is a soothing wash of colour - pale purples and soft greys bleeding into each other as if brushed on with water that has barely touched the pigment - creating a hush that invites reflection. There is no clutter, no heavy detail, only space to breathe and remember. The whole composition carries the quiet grace I associate with arranging sympathy flowers for local families, whether they're gathering near Brondesbury, Queen's Park, or just off the bustling Kilburn High Road. This card feels like a visual embrace, a gentle accompaniment to condolence flowers delivered in the area, offering support without overstatement, and acknowledging sorrow with sensitivity and care.
