Funeral
The front of this sympathy card reveals a serene, nature-inspired illustration that feels as peaceful as a slow walk through New Eltham at dusk. Tall, fine stems rise gracefully from the lower edge, each crowned with delicate, lace-like umbels painted in layered tones of violet, soft indigo, and powdery blue. The petals and tiny florets are rendered with almost transparent detail, allowing the underlying washes of silvery green and muted purple to softly shimmer through. Behind the main stems, hazy suggestions of additional grasses and foliage create depth while remaining blurred and gentle, like distant trees seen across Avery Hill's open space in early morning light. Light, barely-there butterflies drift among the blossoms, their wings lightly tinted and softly defined, giving the impression of movement and quiet transformation. The colour palette is cool yet comforting, with no harsh edges; instead, everything blends and breathes, inviting a moment of reflection. The scene feels like a visual pause, much like stopping to admire a simple arrangement in a New Eltham window, made to console rather than impress. Even without reading the printed message, the card conveys sympathy and compassion through its careful balance of space, colour, and form. It offers a visual embrace-tender, understated, and respectful-perfect for expressing condolences when words alone feel too small. Every line and brush of colour seems chosen to honour both the sorrow of loss and the enduring beauty of the memories that remain.
