It was during our recent vacation to Goa, India. We set up her traveling studio right on the Ashwem beach early in the morning. Our travel mate @baulrupam captured a few moments on the beach, interviewing a few interested spectators. His son Popo joined Dali in this beachfront workshop as well. This was the first time Dali painted together with a human-friend and was watched by a non-human art lover, a local Indie doggo, who was so interested to see the painting process! The crowd was less in the morning, and we got joggers and tourists who came out for morning walks, almost all of them were awestruck to see a dog painting. We always wondered, if Dali ever painted in public how would she react with a crowd around her, and how the crowd would react seeing her paint? But when this actually happened it was amazing! We wanted to capture the vastness of the sea in this video, which is why we kept it horizontal. Please flip your phone to landscape mode for the best viewing experience! 🐶Now that you know the story of this event… please help us find a special name for this art piece. https://static.wixstatic.com/media/154ba9_aa21ce52be7a4ca3978ca9b54c9a4520~mv2.jpg/v1/fill/w_1453,h_2000,al_c/154ba9_aa21ce52be7a4ca3978ca9b54c9a4520~mv2.jpg Dali’s very first outdoor painting! Our friend @atarbus.art suggested that it’s inspired by nature and freedom, beautifully naming it “Flight.” This was shot at Khajaguda hills, Dali’s favourite hiking spot! We visit there regularly for morning walks and outdoor trainings with Dali. This painting was created by Dali at first light, right after sunrise. It was magical to see how energetic and happy she was while painting this… clearly she loved the idea of outdoor painting! We are so happy that she enjoyed this, that we are thinking of creating a vlog with all behind the scenes and making process of the video. https://static.wixstatic.com/media/154ba9_ed9b5d6f206a43eb8621e03e7bd39cab~mv2.png/v1/fill/w_768,h_1344,al_c/154ba9_ed9b5d6f206a43eb8621e03e7bd39cab~mv2.png At 4,500 feet above sea level, in the lap of serene Himalayas, Dali created her 49th painting… with the mighty Kanchenjunga mountain watching over her. It was a moment of pure harmony, a proof that the long road from Hyderabad to the Himalayas was truly worth every mile. https://static.wixstatic.com/media/154ba9_48702d9bbe7b4b3b8af163243f33214b~mv2.jpg/v1/fill/w_1474,h_2000,al_c/154ba9_48702d9bbe7b4b3b8af163243f33214b~mv2.jpg This one was painted in Bhubaneswar, Odisha, right in front of the 16th-century “Megheswara Temple”, a beautiful heritage site that carries the charm and history of the region. Everyone around the temple… visitors, workers, and locals were so supportive and delighted to watch Dali paint in public! We’re truly grateful to the people of Odisha for their warmth, encouragement, and smiles. https://static.wixstatic.com/media/154ba9_aaf98725209e452c89a222a07cd22301~mv2.jpg/v1/fill/w_4032,h_3024,al_c/154ba9_aaf98725209e452c89a222a07cd22301~mv2.jpg This is Dali’s 47th artwork, and it’s a very special one! It was created at a 360-year-old royal zamindari palace of Bengal. Once in ruins, the palace was restored over 13 years and is now a stunning luxury hotel that’s also pet-friendly! What makes it even more special is the kindness of the people here. Every staff member is compassionate toward animals they rescue and care for kittens and birds themselves. They also have an adorable labrador named Simba. Everyone was so happy to see Dali paint here and supported her with so much love and enthusiasm. This piece marks another stop in Dali’s “India Painting Tour” and many more are on the way! https://static.wixstatic.com/media/154ba9_56b5070d65e04491b287953da1adbd7a~mv2.jpg/v1/fill/w_1453,h_2000,al_c/154ba9_56b5070d65e04491b287953da1adbd7a~mv2.jpg On this sacred day of Maha Navami the 9th and final day of traditional Durga Puja, Dali painted an all-red piece on pure white. This time under a gentle drizzle, we didn’t even have to add water to the paper; the raindrops became part of the artwork. Durga Puja is more than just a festival for us Bengalis… it is the timeless story of Goddess Durga’s triumph over Mahishasur, the demon who embodies ego, greed and cruelty. Maa Durga’s victory is an eternal reminder that “good will always win over evil”. For us, red is never just a color…it is the symbol of strength and divinity! It is the “lal paar sada saree” (white saree with a red border) worn by Bengali ladies during Durga Puja, the red sindoor khela (vermillion powder ritual) of Vijaya Dashami, the red hibiscus garland offered to Maa Durga on Maha Ashtami… Red is the very heartbeat of Durga Puja, the spirit of “Shakti” (eternal power) herself. As Dali brushed the canvas in red, we felt it was not just a painting, but an offering. An offering of courage, compassion, and hope. May Goddess Durga’s eternal power guide us to protect, to nurture, and to spread love. https://www.imlabradordali.in/portfolio-collections/my-portfolio/abstract-art 2025-12-23 https://static.wixstatic.com/media/154ba9_651696d343fd45e8aa2870ed436a26b8~mv2.jpg/v1/fill/w_1573,h_2000,al_c/154ba9_651696d343fd45e8aa2870ed436a26b8~mv2.jpg This is Dali’s 39th painting. She painted after a very long time! And we love it! We loved her energy, her big strokes in all directions and ofcourse how the color combination turned out! https://static.wixstatic.com/media/154ba9_d7f48a593e2441ba9a8370ee4568c0f0~mv2.jpg/v1/fill/w_1420,h_2000,al_c/154ba9_d7f48a593e2441ba9a8370ee4568c0f0~mv2.jpg This is Dali’s 2nd painting… https://static.wixstatic.com/media/154ba9_87d7a033f07b40c5945fab3d737fcd71~mv2.jpg/v1/fill/w_1439,h_2000,al_c/154ba9_87d7a033f07b40c5945fab3d737fcd71~mv2.jpg Weight of the World, is Dali's 3rd painting https://static.wixstatic.com/media/154ba9_b165feb28a124b7e9141b05b4c79efa3~mv2.jpg/v1/fill/w_1470,h_2000,al_c/154ba9_b165feb28a124b7e9141b05b4c79efa3~mv2.jpg Dali’s 14th painting “Waterfall” a piece that still flows with so much calm. This artwork also found its place in Dali’s 2025 calendar, and we hope everyone who got the calendar for their homes have enjoyed this painting on their walls in the month of April this year. We’re so deeply grateful for the love, support, and encouragement you continue to shower on Dali. Every comment, every cheer, every message keeps us inspired to share more of her journey with you. Thank you for being part of this story. https://static.wixstatic.com/media/154ba9_b2d17f1bd2f047e0b03b6720e5a7d1d3~mv2.jpg/v1/fill/w_1483,h_2000,al_c/154ba9_b2d17f1bd2f047e0b03b6720e5a7d1d3~mv2.jpg Medium: Watercolour on paper Location: Hyderabad Painted: 4rth Jun, 2024 Title suggested: @vickyq5 (instagram) https://static.wixstatic.com/media/154ba9_37913dce39d74612900f354b71a48981~mv2.jpg/v1/fill/w_1483,h_2000,al_c/154ba9_37913dce39d74612900f354b71a48981~mv2.jpg Medium: Watercolour on paper Location: Hyderabad Painted: 13th Jun, 2024 Title suggested: @lifeandladle (instagram) https://static.wixstatic.com/media/154ba9_e98dff1dd351457a99d69849e0aa3d88~mv2.jpg/v1/fill/w_1444,h_2000,al_c/154ba9_e98dff1dd351457a99d69849e0aa3d88~mv2.jpg Medium: Watercolour on paper Location: Hyderabad Painted: 13th May, 2024 https://static.wixstatic.com/media/154ba9_e1881e2c943a4b90ac0e454d74faa00f~mv2.jpg/v1/fill/w_1461,h_2000,al_c/154ba9_e1881e2c943a4b90ac0e454d74faa00f~mv2.jpg Medium: Watercolour on paper Location: Hyderabad Painted: 22nd Aug, 2024 https://static.wixstatic.com/media/154ba9_b67c731953324d4f869c47d4dae30866~mv2.jpg/v1/fill/w_1461,h_2000,al_c/154ba9_b67c731953324d4f869c47d4dae30866~mv2.jpg Medium: Watercolour on paper Location: Hyderabad Painted: 18th May, 2024 Here’s the 7th watercolor painting by Dali… https://static.wixstatic.com/media/154ba9_2e46944ccde24a8b9fdb0ba9ab939606~mv2.jpg/v1/fill/w_1486,h_2000,al_c/154ba9_2e46944ccde24a8b9fdb0ba9ab939606~mv2.jpg Dali’s 15th painting “The Bird of Paradise” now has a beautiful story… The story of Augie, the sweetest pup with a critical heart condition.
