Visited a village near Kolkata to do some open air painting

Last week  I visited a beautiful village near Kolkata. The place was surrounded by coconut trees,paddy fields, village huts, ponds,bamboo trees ,birds,cows, etc. The place was very calm and quite , so I felt no problem doing my painting works.

This is a work I have done with pen and watercolour. North Bengal is one of my favourite travel destination. I prefer train services but sometimes due to unavailability of train tickets I have to avail the bus services for North Bengal.

While  returning from Tatanagar to Kolkata I had to wait for the train, as the train was two hours late. I made some fast sketches while waiting. Later on I converted those sketches into painting in my studio.
