I painted this composition yesterday.  My artworks most strongly reflect my love for nature and travelling.They serve as a constant source of motivation and a reminder of the places.I am happy here to express my interpretation of nature's beauty with the challenge of watercolour as a media.

I made this paintings in the month of august 2012. This year when I visited North Bengal , I was lucky enough to find a very experienced driver for my rented car. He spotted me various beautiful places on the way to Lataguri,Jhalong, Bindu,Chalsa ,Gorumara ,Murti  ( ...........the list will be a long one ). He stopped the car many a time and gave me enough chance  to do my fine art related works. In this painting you can see a beautiful place between  Jhalong and Bindu.We stopped their for a while to take a cup of tea from a tea stall . The place is so beautiful that I will be unable to forget it ever.

This is my another painting from  "North Bengal series". This beautiful roadside wooden house grabbed my attention when I was just moving towards Jhalong ,North Bengal,Dooars, and I instantly decided that I should paint this scene one day. Finally  I completed my painting yesterday and named it "Peace Home".

I recently visited Bindu ,a beautiful  Indian hill-village situated near Indo- Bhutan border, West Bengal . I was really enthralled with the beauty of the nature there. Jaldhaka river was flowing endlessly. The place is surrounded by hills. The day was sunny. While roaming ,this beautiful wooden cottage grabbed  my attention. I instantly decided  that I should paint this beautiful scene.
