Purple Skies is a 14x19 watercolor original by artist Nandkishor Shinde, a banyan tree with hanging roots framing a distant cluster of village houses beneath a sky washed in violet and gold at dusk.
The hanging roots of the banyan tree are painted as fine, controlled drips, framing the sky beyond like a natural window rather than a hard architectural edge. The violet and gold sky is the clear emotional center of the piece, built from soft, overlapping washes that shift gradually from warm to cool.
The overall composition uses the tree as a genuine frame, directing the eye through to the glowing sky and village beyond. Figures walking on the path below are small and quiet, included mainly to establish scale against the looming tree and sky.
Purple Skies reflects the same soft, atmospheric handling of light that runs through his other work in this collection, favoring mood over precise detail. It belongs to a wider group of watercolors from Shinde's Konkan and Pune-region work, several sharing this same loose, atmospheric technique. Its dusk palette and banyan framing echo Floating in Harmony, both built around a similar violet and gold evening sky.
Being watercolor on paper, framing under glass with a proper mount is worth the investment; it keeps the washes from fading and protects the sheet itself. At 14x19, it's a comfortable mid-scale piece, easy to place above furniture or within a grouped wall arrangement.
Purple Skies would suit a home living or dining space, where its scale and palette can anchor the room without overwhelming it. Its quiet, everyday subject also makes it a considered gift for someone with a personal connection to Maharashtra's villages, coast, or countryside.
Shinde's watercolors favor atmosphere and light over sharp detail, letting the paper and pigment do much of the emotional work. Natural, indirect light shows the washes at their clearest; direct sun for long periods should be avoided so the paper and pigment don't fade. As a handmade original on paper, small variations in wash and edge are part of the piece rather than a flaw, consistent with how Shinde works across this collection.
Purple Skies lets a single tree frame an entire evening's worth of color and light. It works well both as a standalone piece and grouped with related works from this same release. It's a fitting choice for anyone drawn to the specific character of rural Maharashtra.
