Just Oysters
Each oil painting is framed by the artist with weathered wood strips. Give a gift with meaning, an authentic oil painting.
Nancy Nicol
I am a Wellfleet resident, artist and designer. After closing Gallery 5 and downsizing twelve years ago, I conceptualized a webstore that would combine entrepreneurial experience with creativity and production.
nancynicolart.com reaches new customers as well as collectors familiar with my work, attracting appreciative people who enjoy the ease of an online purchase.
I am represented by Viridian Art Gallery, www.viridianartists.com, 548 W. 28th Street, New York, NY. Viridian is an artist owned professionally operated gallery in the prestigious Chelsea region of Manhattan. I also participate in numerous member, invitational and juried exhibitions.
There are two collections in the webstore as well as custom work information.

Hand Made One Lucky Cat/Maneki Neko Products
These lucky cats bring abundance and good fortune to you - based on 17th C. Japanese myth about a cat named Tana living in a Buddhist temple. She beckoned to a Samurai warrior caught in a storm, and thus rescued him and his troops from being hit by lightening. All over Asia there are temples honoring the Maneki Neko. You see them frequently in Chinese and Thai Restaurants. My oil paintings placed in windows facing out guaranteed to bring good luck. Your own cat can be immortalized from a photo when portrayed as a Maneki Neko.
