Original Acrylic Painting Cherries and Chickadee on Slate

This is an original acrylic painting on Granville, NY slate, titled "Cherries and Chickadee". 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 charming Chickadee and fresh cherries on the beautiful piece of New York slate. 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 and attached a metal hanger permanently to the back with an industrial permanent adhesive so it can be hung on a wall if desired.It is 13 x 6 inches and weighs about 1 pound.I really enjoyed painting this and I hope you enjoy it as much as I do.A free display stand is included, (not shown) so you can display it on a shelf or table.This art work is handmade in the USA.
