Let Me Not is the third painting to highlight a quote by Rabindranath Tagore. It has been painted on a piece of canvas cloth with the edges frayed and then attached to a textured and painted stretched canvas. Strips of the cloth have been cut and frayed to create additional strands of threads. Rabindranath Tagore is an Indian poet. These are the words incorporated within this painting on strips of canvas cloth and paper:
“Let me not pray to be sheltered from dangers but to be fearless in facing them. Let me not beg for the stilling of my pain but for the heart to conquer it. Let me not look for allies in life's battlefield but to my own strength. Let me not crave in anxious fear to be saved but hope for the patience to win my freedom. Grant me that I may not be a coward, feeling your mercy in my success alone; but let me find the grasp of your hand in my failure.”
The stretched canvas is attached in the back and it has been signed and dated on the side of the canvas.

Let Us Unite is one of the first paintings in a new series I’m calling “Text-tures.” It has been painted on a piece of canvas cloth with the edges frayed and then attached to a textured but unpainted stretched canvas. Strips of the cloth have been cut and folded down to reveal both the color painted on the reverse side and the back canvas seen through the openings. The folds of painted canvas display the words to a quote by the Indian poet, Rabindranath Tagore.
“Let us unite, not in spite of our differences, but through them. For differences can never be wiped away and life would be so much the poorer without them. Let all human races keep their own personalities, and yet come together, not in a uniformity that is dead, but in a Unity that is living.”
The stretched canvas is stapled in the back. It has been signed and dated on the side of the canvas.
