Funeral
The design of this funeral sympathy card unfolds like a quiet moment in one of Enfield Wash's calmer corners, where wildflowers edge the paths and the world briefly falls silent. Across the front, tall, spindly umbels stretch upwards, their clusters of tiny florets rendered in veils of violet, muted lilac, and cool blue that soften into silvery green stems. Each bloom is painted with a light, almost feathery touch, allowing the creamy paper and hazy watercolour background to glow through, creating a sense of air and space. The colours pool gently and overlap, like water seeping into parchment, bringing to mind a cool evening sky reflected in a still canal. Among the blooms float a few gossamer butterflies, their wings barely traced in soft purples and slate blues so they seem to hover between this world and the next. They move visually among the stems much as memories drift among us at a funeral or memorial service-present, tender, and impossible to quite hold. The lighting is even and subdued, with no harsh edges, just softened silhouettes and a subtle shimmer of pale highlights along the most delicate petals. This quiet delicacy mirrors the way local families often prefer to express their sympathy around Enfield Wash: thoughtful, restrained, and deeply sincere. The whole illustration invites you to pause, breathe, and gather your thoughts, making the card a gentle companion to the simple words of condolence you might send alongside a floral tribute, whether to a home on Hertford Road or a nearby chapel of rest.
