A dilapidated leaf of paper with the painting of a sea shell convey that we must have an artistic temperament and an aesthetic intuition that enables us to see and admire all things in their natural and most perfect state of beauty. It is indeed not an easy task to reduce the three dimensional reality to two dimension in this medium but the artist seems to have achieved the impossible.

Sinistral species of Busycon and other marine gastro pod shells provide artistic specimen. Side view of this easily obtained sea shell is positioned upside down. The edges are sharp with numerous hills and slopes and sudden sharp turns which are depicted so well with the help of colours and shading. Various hues of browns and ochres have been intermingled to give the effect of a natural exotic shell. The colours, as also deft brush strokes also portray sturdiness and hardness of the shell. The minuteness of observation is astounding and shows intense understanding and conchology. There is a miraculous exactitude in rendering shades in colour and minute peculiarities of form and marking. This exotic shell is not only an attractive presentation, but a scientific content.

Calligraphy, an equally developed art form adorns the page in ornamental lettering which not only has primacy over painting but is sanctimonious also.
