68-12 "I have looked at the two small pictures you sent, and I approve of both of them. This is called Rajasthan style, and it is very nice. These 2 pictures, if nicely painted, will look very good in our temples. Also, there is one very nice photograph of my Guru Maharaja which I want you to paint, and I 9 will send it to you there. It was found by Gurudasa in London and he has sent me two copies of it. It was taken just after his acceptance of sannyasa and with the Srimad-Bhagavatam opened before him. So I shall send it.

So far Los Angeles temple is concerned, we have just now leased a very big church, with large meeting hall and various compartments, so here we shall need many very large paintings for making the hall attractive. If it is possible, you can paint very large ones, as large or even larger than the one you sent to Montreal of the gopis. Regarding the gesso sizing of the canvases: If they last for 20 years that is fine and plenty long enough. The other process sounds too complicated, and this plastic sounds to be very nice."
