Here it is… the very first burn I ever did.

It’s scorched, it’s rough, it’s definitely not perfect, but this is where it all started. I’ve love this image: the mountains, the animals, the sense of adventure tucked inside the lines. Even now, I can see a hundred things I’d do differently next time… but that’s the beauty of beginnings.

Swipe right to see the unfinished version, before it was sanded, oiled, and finally cut into a chopping board. That board now lives in its new home up in Co. Durham.

From a scorched first attempt to where we are now, it’s wild what can grow from simply giving something a go.
