Funeral
The cover of this funeral sympathy card is like a soft breath of air drifting through the quiet streets of Temple after rain. Slender, umbelliferous flowers reach upwards in graceful arcs, their lace-like heads picked out in watercolour washes of dusky purple, heather, and powdered blue, anchored by hints of silvery-green foliage. Each stem is fine and poised, their softly blurred outlines creating a dreamy, almost mist-like effect. Behind them, a gentle backdrop of layered violet and grey tones evokes the feeling of early morning light along the Embankment, when the city is hushed and reflective. Among the flowers, faintly traced butterflies float with transparent wings, as if they might vanish if you blinked. They add a whisper of movement and a suggestion of the soul's lightness, carried onward with grace. The composition is spacious and uncluttered; you can almost feel cool paper beneath your fingers, the textures of ink and paint merging in subtle gradients rather than bold strokes. As someone who arranges condolence flowers for families in Temple and the surrounding Inns of Court, I recognise in this artwork a delicate understanding of grief: it does not shout or dramatise, but offers a quiet place to rest the eyes and heart. The mood is tender, almost like a private moment in a hidden garden beside Middle Temple Lane. Paired with a heartfelt handwritten message, this card becomes a gentle companion to lilies, roses, or simple white blooms delivered for a service or memorial nearby.
