Funeral
Inside this funeral card, a tender illustration unfolds, carrying the same stillness you might feel standing by the water near Millwall at first light. Slender wildflower stems, topped with fine umbel-shaped blossoms, rise lightly across the page. They are painted in layered shades of violet, heather, and soft cornflower blue, touched with silvery green foliage that seems to shimmer against the pale background. Many of the details are suggested rather than fully drawn, so the flowers have an airy, lace-like quality, as though seen through a veil of morning mist. Behind them, loose washes of muted purple and blue blend seamlessly into soft grey-green, creating depth without any sharp edges or distractions. Scattered among the blooms, a few butterflies hover with barely defined wings, echoing the idea of a soul in quiet motion and the fragile beauty of memory. The light in the scene feels diffuse, as if filtered through high clouds, leaving no harsh shadows, only a calm illumination. The card's message of sympathy sits gently within or above this floral landscape, its presence supported rather than overshadowed by the artwork. As a florist used to crafting understated condolence tributes for families around Millwall, I see in this design the same intention we bring to our arrangements: to hold space for grief with grace and softness, offering a visual expression of empathy that is comforting, dignified, and sincere.
