A plein-air artist, R. N. Pasricha painted outdoors to infuse on his canvas, the magic of the colours of nature. He paints here an awe-inspiring spectacle of a view from a hilltop complete with the greenery in the mountains, sloping red-roof houses, winding roads and a lone vehicle, if you look closely. Pasricha worked on mostly landscapes in his five decades of artistic career and has been recognised as someone who painted the highest number of mountainscapes plein-air, including those in very high altitudes.
