Funeral
The illustration on this sympathy card unfolds like a quiet stroll through one of Harringay's more peaceful corners, perhaps along a side street just off Green Lanes when the world feels a little slower. A cluster of tall, fine-stemmed wildflowers with umbrella-shaped heads stretches upwards, forming a loose, elegant canopy across the card. These umbelliferous blooms are rendered in soft violets, lavender blues, and muted purples, accented by smoky greens that call to mind the natural tones you might find edging the paths around Ducketts Common. Each bloom is composed of numerous tiny florets, delicately traced and then allowed to dissolve into near-transparency at the outer edges, so the flowers seem to hang in the air like light mist. Threading between them, a few faint butterflies drift with gossamer wings, their outlines barely there but still carrying hints of gentle motion, as if caught mid-hover in a calm, evening breeze. The background is a harmonious gradient of watercolour washes-pale lilac melting into bluish-grey and soft, mossy green-evoking the feel of distant foliage and open sky blurred into one continuous, calming field of colour. There is no sharp contrast or bold pattern; instead, the design feels like a single exhale, long and steady. Working with sympathy flowers in Harringay, I've seen how people respond to this kind of understated beauty: it doesn't demand attention, but it offers quiet companionship when words feel heavy. This card carries that same intent. It feels like a visual condolence, a tender reminder that, much like the return of wildflowers each season, love and memory endure in subtle, steadfast ways, even when the heart is grieving.
