Afternoon with the Artist

“Superior Shore” by Ratindra Das.

Blue Dolphin House and BHD Studio welcome watercolorist Ratindra Das on June 21, 1 – 4 pm, as guest artist in the gardens. Das will sign his new book, Watercolor Beyond Obvious Reality, and will demonstrate his watercolor style. An exhibit of his recent work will be on display in BDH Studio adjacent to the gardens of Blue Dolphin House.

When asked about his painting Das states: “An artist lives by his wits. Like most artists I enjoy, I struggle, and I exult. There is no better reason to paint than just for the love of it.”

He is also signature member of National Watercolor Society and seven other watercolor societies and holds Master status in the Transparent Watercolor Society of America. He is recipient of numerous awards including six in the American Watercolor Society. He attended the American Academy of Art in Chicago and studied with many nationally known artists.
