Funeral
The artwork on this funeral card unfolds in soft layers, much like mist rolling over the edges of Wanstead Flats near Leytonstone at first light. At the centre, a group of slender, umbelliferous flower stems rises with quiet elegance, each topped by a spray of tiny buds and blossoms that resemble fine lace held against the sky. The colour palette is restrained and calming: muted lavenders, smokey blues, and silvery greens mingle gently, with the occasional deeper violet adding a hint of depth without disrupting the overall peace. The petals and seed heads are rendered with a delicate hand, their outlines thinning into transparency at the tips so they seem almost to dissolve into the air. Behind them, broad, sweeping watercolour washes create a hazy background in tones of soft purple, cool grey, and pale blue, as if the flowers were emerging from an early morning fog on Leytonstone High Road before the day fully begins. A few light, ethereal butterflies hover among the stems, wings barely defined, echoing the sense of gentle movement and the quiet persistence of life even in the midst of loss. The light across the scene is gentle, with no strong shadows-more like an overcast but comforting sky that wraps everything in a soft embrace. The design feels contemplative and deeply sympathetic, making this card an ideal partner to a simple funeral arrangement delivered to a home or chapel in Leytonstone, offering those who receive it a moment of calm reflection and the reassurance that their grief is seen and honoured.
