He knows well how to bring out the softness of a certain scene and yet hint at the severities that have, or may have, gone into the making of that scene. A view of Bengali pada (boat with huts) is a good example of that. The very first impression that the viewer gets of the painting is that of serenity and a kind of calmness about the huts. But devoting some time to the artwork reveals that it is a picture that tells a story which might not be easily palatable. The boat that the artist has drawn comes across as an integral part of its surroundings, as if it never moves from where it has been placed.
