Funeral
This sympathy card opens to reveal a gentle study of nature, painted in the soft, hushed tones you might notice along a quiet path near West Ham's residential streets on an early autumn morning. Tall, fine-stemmed wildflowers with intricate umbel heads stretch upwards, their forms rendered in layers of lavender, dusky blue, and muted sage. Each bloom appears almost weightless, as though a slight breeze from nearby West Ham Park could send the feathery petals swaying. The background is a dreamy wash of pale mauve and cool blue-grey, blurred and cloud-like, giving depth without drawing attention away from the delicate silhouettes in the foreground. Scattered lightly across this misty backdrop, faint impressions of additional foliage and seed heads create a soft tapestry of shapes, suggesting a quiet meadow held in stillness. Among the stems, a few graceful butterflies drift, their wings translucent and gently tinted, symbolising the tender, fleeting nature of life and the hope that endures beyond grief. The lighting feels diffused, like daylight filtered through thin clouds, lending a calm, contemplative mood. For someone in West Ham sending condolences to a friend or neighbour, the card's cool yet comforting palette and understated design echo the respectful tone of a simple, elegant floral tribute. Although no fragrance can be carried on the page, the artwork hints at the subtle scent of wildflowers after rain, that clean, earthy aroma that invites a deep breath and a quiet pause. It is a design that holds space for sorrow while offering a reassuring sense of continued presence and care.
