Funeral
The artwork on this sympathy card unfolds like a quiet walk through a dew-damp verge near Spitalfields City Farm at first light. Against a softly blurred backdrop of misty lavender and pale, silvery green, tall umbelliferous flowers rise in slender clusters, their filigree heads drawn with a fine, almost calligraphic touch. Each stem appears weightless, as though caught in a gentle breeze that you can almost feel brushing across the page. The colours are muted and cool-brushes of heather purple, smokey blue, and soft grey-green-merging together like early morning cloud cover over the East End rooftops. Among these ethereal stems, several butterflies drift with subtle grace, their wings rendered in translucent layers of violet and blue that barely break the silence of the scene. They seem to pause mid-flight, symbolic of the way precious memories linger long after someone has gone. The light feels diffused, as if filtered through thin clouds, bringing a restful, contemplative glow to the illustration. As a florist who works daily among the bustle of Spitalfields Market, I recognise the rare calm captured here-a moment of stillness in the heart of the city. The card's composition does not overwhelm; instead, it gently holds space for sorrow and remembrance. It feels like an unspoken promise that compassion and shared memories continue quietly, long after the service is over, making it a thoughtful choice for expressing sympathy to families across Spitalfields and the surrounding streets.
