Opening the door to NIDOART online

After spending an hour trying to remember my password and finding my way around I will attempt to do a little blogging. It's obviously been a while...

I have opened the door to my new online shop and love the challenge of creating a business in cyber space. I also enjoyed getting all of your emails of encouragement; putting faces to them was fun.

I am planning to make this shop as tactile and personal as possible. Your comments and emails will help with that.

Once again, one of my most favorite things is bringing artists to your attention, and there are so many. Sometimes, people don't realize how they can have great art in their home for a reasonable price and get years of enjoyment from it. If you have never purchased art before and think it might seem frivolous I can assure you in these times more than ever you will find great solace in the enjoyment you derive form it.

Look at this piece by David Fleming titled Matisse's Chair. Dave has captured Matisse's style so well, it's as if, it is Matisse's chair or something he would have painted. I love this painting. I find it cheerful... something I would love to wake up to in the morning or glance over at while having a cup of tea. I love the colors and how he thought to make the heater part of the composition.

You can see this and more of David Fleming's work at my online shop, www.nidoart.com along with David's artist statement.
