Funeral
The artistry of this sympathy card recalls the quiet, misty mornings along Erith's riverside paths, where colours soften and sounds seem to drift away. Across the card, wisps of lace-like flower heads, reminiscent of cow parsley or wild dill, rise gracefully from the base. Their slender stems are brushed in gentle olive and silvery green, while their intricate umbels glow in violets, dusky lilacs, and soft blues that appear almost weightless against the background. The entire scene is washed in delicate watercolour, with the pigment allowed to bleed and pool, creating a field of pale purple and blue that feels like distant, dew-covered meadows in soft focus. Transparent butterflies flit among the blossoms, their wings lightly outlined in smoky lavender and steel blue so they seem caught mid-flight, as if stirred by a passing breeze. There is a tactile softness to the illustration; you can almost imagine running your fingertips over the feathery petals and feeling the slight texture of the paper beneath. The muted hues and gentle gradients evoke a sense of calm, reflection, and quiet empathy, much like the careful, unspoken support friends and neighbours in Erith often offer one another in difficult times. Above the flowers, a simple, sincere message of sympathy rests in elegant script, its presence noticeable but not overpowering, leaving the artwork plenty of breathing space. Overall, the card feels like a visual embrace: subtle yet deeply compassionate, the kind of design that pairs beautifully with a modest condolence bouquet, whether it's being delivered near Erith town centre or to a quieter road overlooking the river.
