Third of the Enchanted Banyan three panel, acrylic on canvas, 20"x30"



============================================
Banyan trees are very common in tropical China, where I spent my childhood. Their calming presence in their sheer size, their lush leaves, and their dropped roots has always been my personal refuge. I used to walk to the neighborhood banyan tree when things went wrong, and the tree would calm me down and remind me not to give up. The personal exchanges I had with the banyan trees inspired me to put the Celtic knots in the trunk and on the roots. I have designed the symbols to represent perseverance.

It serves us well to remember that although we may admire the leaves, the flowers, or the fruits of a tree, a tree’s life and strength actually abide in its roots and its trunk. It is just like in life, where others may admire our achievement or success, but the source of all of those abides in our mind and our heart.
