Funeral
The artwork on this sympathy card evokes the soft hush of Docklands in the early hours, when the water is still and the air feels almost suspended. Rising from the lower edge, a cluster of wildflowers stands tall and delicate, their stems drawn as fine, flowing lines that lean slightly as though caught in a tender gust. At the top of each stem, the umbelliferous flowers bloom into tiny, gathered florets, forming rounded heads that resemble fragile lace. Shades of violet, lavender, indigo, and muted blue intermingle with gentle touches of sage green, all applied with a light watercolour hand that leaves plenty of white space. The backdrop flows in smooth gradations of dusky purple and silver-blue, echoing the soft, reflected light you might see on the Thames near the docks when sky and water meet in similar tones. A small scattering of butterflies drifts among the stems, their wings so lightly coloured that they almost fade into the background, symbolising both delicacy and quiet perseverance. The scene is bathed in a subdued glow rather than sharp brightness, encouraging contemplation rather than demanding attention. It feels like a visual pause, a moment held between breaths. When used to send condolences in the Docklands area, this card offers more than a simple message; it brings a sense of calm presence, much like standing by the riverside and letting memories surface gently, without rush or pressure.
