Funeral
The sympathy card unfolds like a soft breath of air drifting over a still meadow just beyond the streets of South Norwood. Fine, spindly wildflower stems rise in graceful arcs from the lower edge, their umbel-shaped flower heads painted in gauzy tones of violet, dusty blue, and cool grey-green. The petals are more suggestion than outline, fading at the edges so they seem to float in front of a misty wash of colour. Behind the flowers, delicate layers of watercolour in muted purple and soft blue taper off into pale silvery greens, much like the soft horizon you might glimpse on an early morning walk towards Woodside Green. Scattered among the blooms, translucent butterflies linger, their wings rendered with such lightness that they appear almost like drifting petals themselves. The entire composition feels weightless, suffused with calm, as though time has paused to make room for reflection. There are no bold contrasts or sharp lines, only gentle gradients and open space, giving the eyes room to wander and the mind permission to rest. This is the sort of image I often think of when guiding families at local services: nature offering quiet comfort without demanding attention. The card's mood is tender and deeply respectful, ideal to accompany a simple condolence arrangement sent to someone in South Norwood who needs to feel that, even in loss, there is still beauty moving quietly around them.
