Funeral
Inside this funeral sympathy card, a tender, nature-inspired scene unfolds with the quiet grace of a peaceful walk along the riverside paths on the Isle of Dogs. Slender, upright stems stretch from the base of the image, each crowned with a cluster of umbelliferous florets that fan out like tiny, lacy fireworks frozen in mid-bloom. The flowers are painted in soft violets, subdued lavenders, and blue-grey tones, gently accented with hints of silvery green in the stems and background. The artist uses a delicate watercolour style, letting hues flow and merge like reflections on the Thames near Canary Wharf at dawn, so there are no sharp lines-just a soothing blend of colour and form. Amidst the wispy petals and fine branches, pale butterflies drift quietly, their nearly transparent wings echoing the cool, calm palette. They seem to hover in a slow, unhurried motion, symbolising the lingering presence of cherished memories. The composition is airy, with plenty of open space, allowing the eye-and the heart-to rest. As a local florist on the Isle of Dogs, accustomed to helping families choose flowers and cards at difficult times, I can feel how this design offers a soft-spoken message of compassion. It pairs beautifully with delicate sympathy arrangements, bringing a sense of calm and dignity to condolence deliveries across the Island, from quiet residential streets to waterside apartments overlooking the docks.
