Funeral
The artwork on this sympathy card captures a hushed, river-side calm, much like an early morning along Rotherhithe Street when mist hangs low over the Thames. Fine, reed-like stems reach upwards in loose clusters, each crowned with intricate, lace-work umbels that resemble delicate Queen Anne's lace or cow parsley. These flower heads are drawn in subtle shades of violet, soft blue, and muted lilac, then softened further with translucent watercolour washes. Behind them, the background glows with layered veils of silvery green and pale lavender, gently blurred so the blooms seem to float above a distant, dreamy landscape. Transparent butterflies drift among the blossoms, their gossamer wings barely traced in ink, as if captured mid-flutter in a breeze. There is a tangible sense of quiet here: no bold outlines, no saturated colours, just a gentle progression of cool tones and feathery textures that invite reflection. The spacing between the stems creates a rhythmic pattern, like gentle ripples on water, reinforcing the idea of continuity even through sorrow. Rotherhithe Florist might pair a card like this with a soft, seasonal sympathy bouquet for a home near Canada Water or Surrey Quays, knowing its calm design offers visual comfort without overwhelming the recipient. The mood of the illustration is contemplative and compassionate-a visual embrace that simply says, "I'm thinking of you," while allowing room for private remembrance.
