Funeral
The sympathy card opens to reveal a tranquil field of stylised wildflowers, painted with the same care a local Limehouse florist might give to a delicate remembrance bouquet. Slender stems, fine as ink lines, reach upwards in a loose, organic pattern, each one crowned with an umbel of tiny blooms that fan out like soft lace. The colours are soothing and cool: layers of violet, muted purple, powdery blue, and silvery green wash across the card, bleeding gently into one another like reflections in the water near Limehouse Cut. No single flower dominates; instead, they form a quiet chorus, evenly spaced yet naturally varied, some leaning slightly as though bent by a barely felt breeze. In the spaces between, pale silhouettes of smaller buds and foliage add depth, hinting at a broader meadow just beyond the frame. Lightly drawn butterflies drift among the blossoms, their almost transparent wings edged with the faintest touches of blue and mauve, suggesting movement without disturbing the stillness. The whole composition feels like early morning along the canal paths, when the air is cool, voices are hushed, and the world has not yet fully woken. Soft gradients in the background create a subtle horizon, shifting from gentle lilac near the base to softer, misty blues above, wrapping the flowers in a halo of calm. Though the card is simple at first glance, the details invite a longer look, offering the quiet solace of nature and the reassuring sense that, like the turning tides in Limehouse, tenderness and memory continue in their own gentle rhythm.
