Funeral
Inside this funeral sympathy card, the illustration feels like a gentle exhale, a floral meditation set against the urban calm of Somers Town's side streets. The scene is composed of tall, fine stems that sweep upward in elegant arcs, each crowned with feathery heads of umbelliferous blooms. These flower clusters are drawn with painstaking filigree detail, yet softened by washes of colour so they seem both present and slightly distant, much like cherished memories. The colour palette leans into cool, soothing tones - lavender, soft indigo, pale blue, and muted sage - all layered over a background of misted purples and silvery greys that bring to mind a quiet, drizzly morning around Ossulston Street. The brushwork is fluid, allowing the pigments to bleed gently into one another, so there are no hard edges, only soft transitions that calm the eye. Here and there, delicate butterflies drift among the flowers, their wings rendered in translucent lilac and blue-grey, with only the faintest suggestions of patterns. They hover with a sense of stillness, inviting thoughts of transformation, peace, and continuity beyond loss. The composition breathes, with generous pockets of white and pale colour between the stems, avoiding any sense of clutter or heaviness. Light in the image is even and diffused, as if filtered through thin cloud, encouraging reflection rather than drama. Paired with a simple, sincere message of condolence, this card feels like something a thoughtful Somers Town neighbour might tuck alongside a modest funeral wreath or a vase of seasonal blooms, offering quiet understanding when words are difficult to find.
