Funeral
The artwork on this sympathy card unfolds in a way that feels very at home in Dulwich-natural, thoughtful, and understated. A collection of tall wildflower stems rises from the lower edge, each line drawn with a light hand so the stems appear almost weightless. At the top, the umbelliferous blooms spread into finely detailed clusters, like miniature fireworks frozen in a quiet moment. The colours chosen are gentle and cool: layers of violet, lavender, soft blue, and blue-grey, accented with slender strokes of sage and silvery green. The painterly background drifts from muted purple into misty blue and grey, creating a soft-focus effect similar to the view across a dew-covered lawn on a calm morning in Dulwich Village. Floating among the blooms are a few butterflies with translucent wings, softly tinted and loosely outlined, so they seem to glide effortlessly through the air. The lighting is hushed and even, casting a subtle glow over the whole composition rather than drawing attention to any one area. This sense of visual harmony mirrors the emotional tone of sympathy-reassuring, steady, and quietly present. As a condolence card, it is a gentle choice for expressing care to someone in Dulwich, offering a small, artful sanctuary of calm at a time when emotions can feel overwhelming. The design lets nature speak, conveying respect, remembrance, and the enduring bond of love in a beautifully restrained way.
