Original Acrylic Dragonfly and Passion Flower Painting "Serenity" on New York Slate

This is an original acrylic painting on Granville, NY slate, titled "Serenity". I fell in love with slate when I lived in Saratoga Springs, New York. It was in 2010 that I made a trip to Granville and found this gorgeous slate. I collected and smoothed down the rough edges of the slate before I started painting.
I painted a passion flower, dogwood flowers, and a blue dragonfly. This is one of the first pieces I painted when I was teaching myself to paint.
I sealed everything with a UV resistant clear coating to protect the artwork.
It is 9 x 8 inches and weighs about 1 pound. I attached a metal hanger so that it can be hung on a wall. I used a diamond drill to make the holes for the pins and an industrial adhesive to attach the hanger permanently to the stone.
I really enjoyed painting this and I hope you enjoy it as much as I do.
A free brass plated display stand is included, (not shown).
