Cecil County Arts Council Exhibit

This is my first exhibit of my artwork that was not done specifically in a school setting. I had my paintings on display at the Cecil County Arts Council in the main gallery March 2019. The paintings are now on display at the Elkton Maryland Library. The show is titled "Stories Behind the Paintings". Here are a few pictures of the show and a story of how my artwork has developed over the last year. Check out my facebook page for more @ArtByGinaDell

Not all who wander are lost. This quote most referenced from the poem by J.R.R. Tolkien, probably means different things to different people. However, I believe it is quite fitting to think about for this painting titled "Wanderer" To me this butterfly is part of my journey to find my own style as a painter. Which originally started by getting books to copy paintings of artists I liked, but I have learned so may techniques now I am able to combine them all to create my own unique one. I love that the arts council decided to pair this painting with "Something interesting in the gray" and "Heading North" because although I did not plan it this way when I look at the three together it shows a beautiful growth for me. I wanted to say a special thanks to Nicole Brickweg for allowing me to use her butterfly images for inspiration. She is an amazing photographer and it is definitely worth your time to check out here work as well :-)
