“If you must begin then go all the way, because if you begin
and quit, the unfinished business you have left behind begins to haunt
you all the time.”

The Tattooed Puppy… not in real life!!
Of course you know I did the tattooing with my paint brush… on the
paper. Just checkin’. No puppy (or cow) was subjected to a real
tattoo making contraption. Can you imagine a critter sitting still for
all that? Not any I have ever known. I don’t even have tattoos. You
couldn’t make me do that!
This is an older painting because I haven’t had time to get much done
of the cows. Maybe over the weekend. I’m working at the sign shop
Saturday, but I’ll be off on Sunday.
About Chögyam Trungpa
Tibetan Buddhist leader Chögyam Trungpa was instrumental in bringing
Buddhism to the West. He was born on February 28, 1939 in Tibet and was
recognized as the reincarnation of a Rinpoche (enlightened teacher) at
13 months old. After moving to England, he abandoned his monk garb: He
wanted his Western students to perceive the Buddhist teachings without
becoming distracted by exotic trappings. He founded Naropa University in
Colorado and wrote several books. He died on April 4, 1987.
