At first I have hesitated with another title for this painting. It was 'Purple Thoughts'. 'Purple' you can easily understand why and 'Thoughts' because the pansy gets its name from the French word 'pensée' whose meaning is 'thought' in English.
I have finally chosen 'I Think of You' because it is what the pansy means in the language of flowers. I just love the symbolism of this message...
I dedicate this painting to all my AW friends to thank them for their kind and faithful support. THANK YOU EVERYBODY! ~Greg~

Wonderful Greg!!! It's so real that it feels like you can touch it. We call it viooltje. I think that comes from violet.
