Funeral
The artwork on this sympathy card feels like a moment of stillness captured between the tides at Woolwich, where the water pauses and the air seems to hush. From the lower edge of the card, slender stems climb skyward, their lines fine and slightly curved, each one crowned with an umbelliferous cluster of tiny, stylised blossoms. These flower heads are painted in transparent layers of violet, lilac, muted blue, and cool grey-green, with the pigment fading softly at the edges so that the blooms appear almost weightless, as though suspended in air. The background is a smooth, flowing blend of watercolour washes, shifting from soft purples and blues to hints of pale, misty green, reminiscent of the gentle haze you see over the river near Woolwich Arsenal on a quiet morning. Butterflies are scattered among the flowers, their wings rendered in gossamer shades of off-white and lavender, only lightly detailed, as if they are moving slowly through a comforting breeze. The overall light is subdued and even, lending the card a sense of calm continuity rather than stark contrast. Each stem seems to lean into the next, creating a delicate rhythm that draws the eye upward to the simple message of sympathy printed above in elegant, flowing script. There is no clutter, just space, softness, and thoughtful design, the way we aim to arrange condolence flowers for local families. This card feels like an invitation to pause, breathe, and remember-an understated gesture of support, carrying the quiet reassurance of nature along the same lines as a peaceful walk through one of Woolwich's green spaces when words feel too small.
