Funeral
The design on this sympathy card unfolds with the kind of gentle calm you might find wandering through a peaceful stretch of St Mary Cray at dusk. Tall, finely drawn wildflowers with umbelliferous heads rise gracefully against a background of muted violet, soft blue, and misty green, the colours laid down in delicate watercolour washes that fade in and out like distant clouds. Each stem is long and slender, some bowing slightly, others standing almost upright, giving a sense of natural rhythm and movement. The flower umbels at the top are rendered as intricate, lace-like silhouettes, their tiny clustered florets implied rather than rigidly defined, so they appear almost weightless, like memories hovering at the edge of thought. Around and between these blooms, subtle butterflies float, their translucent wings edged in pale lilac and blue, echoing the palette below and symbolising gentle continuity through change. The overall lighting feels soft and even, as though the whole scene is lit by a veiled sun, smoothing out sharp shadows and keeping the mood reflective and kind. There is ample open space in the composition, allowing the eye to rest and the heart to settle-a visual pause akin to sitting quietly by a local green, taking a moment to remember someone dear. This is the type of image a florist in St Mary Cray might keep close at hand when guiding someone through the delicate task of sending condolences, because it communicates sympathy and presence without intensity, relying on quiet flowers, cool hues, and floating butterflies to carry its heartfelt message.
