Once Nandlal-babu asked Krishnalal, “Do you see that tree standing over there?” He then told him to make a painting of it. Krishnalal within a few hours was back with the replica of the painting. Seeing the beautiful painting, Nandlal-babu said, “I asked you to paint the picture of the tree standing over there. Have you observed it in the sun-light and moon-light? seen it standing there in the darkness and in full light? Have you observed it in Vasant and Grishma? in Varsha, Shishir and Hemant? [the sixth season in India is Sharad] Have you felt its mood in sorrow and in happiness, while standing throughout the year? Now, observe these and paint again!”
