Funeral
Opening this sympathy card is like stepping into a misty New Barnet morning, where everything is hushed and softened by light. Tall, slender wildflowers with lace-like, umbelliferous heads stretch upwards across the card, their forms painted in layers of violet, soft blue, and silvery green. The petals and tiny florets are suggested rather than sharply defined, giving each bloom a feathery, translucent quality, as though seen through a veil of gentle fog drifting in from nearby Monken Hadley Common. Around them, the background melts into fluid watercolour washes, cool and calm, with pale lavender tones dissolving into quiet greens and greys. Small, graceful butterflies float between the stems, their wings lightly traced so they almost disappear into the air, hinting at transformation, presence, and the way memories hover close by. The design has that tender, hand-painted feel I recognise from carefully chosen condolence flowers prepared for local homes and services; nothing is heavy or overpowering. Instead, there is an elegant lightness, like air moving through tall grasses behind a garden on a side street off the High Road. This card's artwork carries the same intention as a thoughtfully arranged sympathy bouquet: to bring gentle comfort, create a space for reflection, and offer a quiet, respectful way to say you care when someone in New Barnet is navigating the ache of loss.
