An artful tour to Taki - a Heritage Town
watercolour painting on paper ( 11" x 15")
Taki is an extremely peaceful place for plein air painting .Last week I visited Taki to do some plein air painting.
I boarded the Hasnabad Local Train from Sealdah Station,(Kolkata ) to reach Taki Road Station.From Taki Road station I took a cycle-van to arrive at the Zamindar Bari (Palatial building ) on the banks of River Ichamoti in 10 minutes. Two-third of the Zamindar Bari (Palatial building ) property has been engulfed by the river Ichamoti,still this ( Zamindar Bari -Palatial building ) is one of the main attraction here.These Zamindars ruled from the time of Mughals and served till the time of British rules. It is quite painful to see the Zamindar Baris(Palatial buildings ) are now in dilpidated state. This historical Zamindar Bari(Palatial building ) as a witness, has lot more to say, if we all are willing to listen it.

Taki is a heritage town and also the gateway to
Sunderban ( Bay of Bengal ). It is situated by the bank of beautiful river
Ichamoti. Bangladesh is on the other bank of the river Ichamoti.
Taki Municipality is
one of the oldest municipalities in India established in1869. Taki Gov’t
High School is more than 250 years old.
A boat ride on the waters of Ichamoti is an activity which
I surely cannot miss for speed sketching. I sketched the house of the the
fishermen, their boats ,trees near the
shore, boats dancing in the high tide. The murmuring sound of the water and a
boatman singing some folk tune enchanted my creative spirit. I spent a lovely
day observing, painting,sketching a variety
of birds, trees, sailing boats,motor boats etc.
After completion of my fine art related job wholeday long
, I enjoyed rolls, ghugnis ,sweets and tea on the shores of Ichamoti in the
evening . It was quite relaxing. As an avid fan of prawn I also tried some
prawn items here. Taki is also well known for prawn.
While returning home ,I noticed this beautiful old
structure near Taki Municipality. I decided that I will paint it very soon.
Yesterday I have made it. In this painting I have applied scarlet lake, lemon
yellow,prussian blue,burnt sienna,hooker’s green,and payne’s grey.

After the Rain
Title - After the Rain
watercolour on paper (size - 11' x 15')
As an artist and also an educator, my aim is not only just to transform my unique vision of nature through painting ,but also to evoke a sense of tranquility , peace , serenity and harmony. Here is a painting I did up in a few months ago. This is also a fully imaginative work of mine. A sudden spark of idea came suddenly in my mind after a heavy downpour, and I transformed the idea into a painting in my studio that very day.
