Pansy
Linda's voice:
The English name “pansy” is a derivation from the French for
thought - “pensée”. Every time I see a pansy, I think of my mother. As a
very young child I remember picking pansies from her garden and helping
her to arrange them in a special vase called a pansy ring, so that all
their funny faces would smile up at me. We’ve exchanged pansies in one
form or another over the years, my most treasured from her being a
beautiful tablecloth she spent countless hours embroidering.
This painting was my gift to my mother on her 80th birthday.
