Funeral
Opening this sympathy card is like stepping into a soft Surrey morning near West Byfleet, where the light hangs low and gentle over quiet paths and gardens. The illustration shows tall, lace-like flower heads reaching upward on the thinnest of stems, their shapes echoing wild umbelliferous blooms you might glimpse along the towpath by the canal. Violets, dusky blues, and gentle lilacs flow together in feathery watercolour washes, creating a cool, calming field of colour at the base of the design. Above, the flowers grow more transparent, as if the pigment has lifted into the air, so they feel airy and almost weightless. Wispy butterflies float among the blossoms, their wings tinted with hints of silver-grey and soft blue, like fragments of sky caught in motion. The background remains purposefully blurred, with muted layers of purple and green that suggest distant foliage without distracting from the delicate floral forms. There is a hush to the scene, like the quiet just after a light shower over West Byfleet's tree-lined streets, when everything feels freshly washed and still. As a florist used to helping families express sympathy with flowers and cards, I recognise the tenderness in this artwork: it does not shout its message, but rather offers a subtle, enduring presence. The overall effect is one of understanding and compassion, making this card a thoughtful way to convey condolences to friends or relatives nearby or across the surrounding villages.
