Funeral
Opening this sympathy card is like stepping momentarily away from the bustle near Hatton Cross and finding yourself in a quiet, dew-kissed field at first light. From the lower edge of the card, a gathering of slender wildflower stems rises upwards, each one tipped with umbelliferous flower heads made up of tiny clustered blooms. They are painted in muted shades of violet, cool indigo, and soft blue, with hints of silvery green tracing through the leaves and supporting branches. The artist uses delicate watercolour washes so that the petals and stems appear semi-transparent, allowing underlying layers of lavender and pale grey to show through. This softly blurred background suggests a hazy horizon, like distant hedgerows or tree lines barely visible through early morning mist. Fluttering within this airy tangle are butterflies, their wings open and still, coloured in faint purple and blue tones that echo the flowers yet remain distinct enough to be noticed. They bring a quiet symbolism of transformation and ongoing presence. The light is calm and indirect, with no harsh highlights, casting the entire composition in a reflective, almost meditative glow. As someone used to arranging sympathy flowers and funeral tributes for local families, I feel how this card's gentle palette and understated design mirror the careful thought behind a condolence gesture. It is neither showy nor stark, instead offering space for grief and remembrance. Sent with a simple arrangement delivered to a home, chapel, or crematorium near Hatton, this card gives visual form to words that can be hard to say aloud.
