A remarkably gifted watercolourist, D. C. Joglekar brought in a meditative, poetic vision in his works, particularly in his panoramic landscapes. Joglekar’s aesthetic vision, awash with pulse and rhythm, is evident in this work—the orange-pinkish glow of the sun on the hills, the blue skies merged with the remarkable hues of the atmosphere, the vast stretch of the area interspersed by trees, a solitary hut resting on a mound. Joglekar creates here a profound work, allowing us to meditate on it.
