This is the last painting left of the Triptych (set of 3) – Harmony in Nature, Standing as One & Nurture Eachother

This evocative painting captures a majestic tree in full bloom—its branches outstretched like open arms, reaching skyward and outward in silent communion. Rendered with expressive brushwork and earthy tones of sienna, russet, and ochre, the tree pulses with life and quiet strength. Wisps of pinks and reds soften its crown, suggesting blossoms or perhaps ephemeral memories caught in the branches.

The trunk is ancient and resolute, rooted in golden grasses that shimmer with hints of metallic sheen, as if touched by the alchemy of time. Subtle drips run downward, like rain-streaked tears or the dissolving boundary between earth and sky—reminding us that all things are in flux.

A tiny, solitary figure stands at the base—humble and dwarfed, yet in complete reverence. This interplay between human and nature speaks of unity, not separation. The title, Standing as One, becomes both a declaration and an invitation—to remember our rootedness in something greater, to be still, and to stand in harmony with the whole.
