Four Abbey Rules
Four Abbey Rules
1. Follow Nature
2. First know, then act. Real knowledge exists in the triangle composed of seeing, feeling and understanding.
3. Use only one vessel, one fire, one instrument. The person who takes the chosen path may succeed, while the person who attempts to walk on many paths will be delayed.
4. Keep the fires burning constantly

Good advice, Heather, and a fantastic image. Your art is becoming more sophisticated day by day.

Brilliant. Too true are these directions and a good guide. Love the image, a great scene.
Wonderful rules for leading a creative life.
Heather, who is the green chick in the cage......
Oh, wait, I have it-- keep the green-eyed monster of jealousy and envy caged up?
I loved the rules, which are from some alchemy fundamentals. Indeed, I am looking at things like distellation and so on. Might have to have a distillery at the Abbey next.
Thanks so much for the praise everyone and I am encouraged by your words Vi. I still feel I have a long way to go but I am following the rules as listed here and drawing for at least three hours every day.
Will have to look in to having a poster with the words on it Melody. That will be a challenge.
Oh and, Lori, the green chick is the caged artist. The other chicks are working on freeing her. But I do like your interpretation too.
Rules? Okay, I'm game...can do will do. No I'm not snickering! Hey put the broom down, I was only sneezing!

don't spoil all my fun Anita Marie. Chasing you down the corridors with a broom sounds like good Ozzie sport.
