Funeral
The image on this sympathy card has the still, reflective feeling of standing at the edge of a field near North Ockendon just after rain, when every sound is hushed. Slender stems of umbelliferous wildflowers reach upwards in gentle curves, some leaning slightly to one side as though shaped by a soft breeze. Their heads are made up of tiny star-like petals and dots, drawn so delicately that they seem to float above the stems. Colours move through quiet tones of violet, dusky blue, and soft sage, tinged here and there with silvery grey; nothing is vivid or sharp, yet every bloom is clearly present, like thoughts that come and go during a moment of remembrance. The background is a fluid watercolour wash, with purples and blue-greens softly bleeding into one another, creating a misty horizon effect. It feels as if you're looking through a veil, seeing both the flowers and the space beyond them. Among the stems, pale butterflies appear, their wings filled with sheer colour and the faintest tracing of pattern, captured mid-hover so they seem to move without disturbing the tranquillity. There is an impression of gentle movement-the suggestion that life continues, even in quiet sadness. The composition leaves generous open areas of pale space, which gives the eye room to rest and helps the artwork feel contemplative rather than busy. At North Ockendon Florist, we often see families drawn to designs like this when words feel inadequate: softly coloured, nature-led, and deeply respectful, offering condolence through calm beauty rather than bold statements.
