Funeral
The artwork on this sympathy card evokes the hush of a reflective walk through Lisson Grove's quieter back streets, far from the bustle of Marylebone Road. Slender, slightly curved stems rise from the base of the image, topped with intricate umbels reminiscent of wild cow parsley or Queen Anne's lace, painted in gentle layers of violet, blue-grey, and soft sage green. These flower heads are airy and finely detailed, their tiny florets suggested rather than rigidly defined, giving them a feathery, almost dreamlike quality. Behind the blooms, a mellow backdrop of muted purples and silvery greens stretches across the card, softly blurred like a meadow or riverside verge seen through light fog. The transition between colours is fluid, creating a sense of depth without distraction. Among the blossoms, faintly sketched butterflies hover, wings partially transparent and lightly washed with lilac and pearl-grey notes, suggesting the delicate movement of life continuing quietly in the face of grief. The overall light is gentle and even, with no harsh highlights, evoking the calm of an overcast day when everything appears softened and close. The composition has room to breathe, with slender stems and butterflies spaced so that each element can be appreciated in turn. Crafted with the sensitivity you'd expect from a local Lisson Grove florist, this card offers a heartfelt, visual expression of sympathy-an understated, nature-inspired message of comfort, suitable for sending condolences throughout Lisson Grove and the surrounding central London neighbourhoods.
