Funeral
The illustration inside this sympathy card unfolds like a serene watercolour view just beyond the leafy avenues of Petts Wood. A cluster of tall, fine-stemmed wildflowers rises from the lower edge, their umbel-shaped heads finely sketched and then washed with cool shades of lavender, muted indigo, and soft blue-grey. The stems curve with a natural, unhurried grace, as if swaying in a barely-there breeze moving through the local woodlands. Behind them, the background spreads in layered, translucent veils of colour-dusky violets blending into silvery greens and pale smoke tones-creating a quiet, mist-like ambience similar to an early morning walk along Station Square before the town fully wakes. Between the stems hover a few fragile butterflies, rendered with transparent wings and faint outlines so they appear almost like gentle thoughts taking shape. There is a tactile softness to the scene; the flowers feel feathery to the imagination, while the background appears velvety and cool, inviting the viewer to rest their gaze. No bold lines or bright tones intrude, making the overall composition deeply calming and considerate of tender emotions. It conjures the same gentle care we put into arranging sympathy posies and wreaths for local services, ensuring nothing feels heavy-handed. The card's image seems less like decoration and more like a quiet companion to heartfelt condolences-an unobtrusive, nature-inspired presence that speaks of remembrance, continuity, and the comforting embrace of the natural world so cherished around Petts Wood.
