Several years ago I did a small (8x10) burning of this picture that I took at Holden Beach. After showing it and other burnings to friends and family, they said that I should try to sell something. I've done houses, dogs, landscapes, fish, candle holders, turned bowls, portraits (which are REALLY hard and not my favorite). I told them that I didn't know if any would actually sell. Then an old Navy buddy made the same suggestion recently so I said "What the heck" I'll give it a shot.
I redid the original burning, but this time I decided to go bigger. This one is 16" x 16" (18" x 18" with the frame). It took me 15 hours to do the burning and another few hours to make the frame and apply finish.
I sold it to a friend for $200. I know that it isn't a lot for the time that I have in it, but at least it will help support my hobby. If I decide to do another, I'm going to post it on a Holden Beach Facebook page that I belong to and will sell it for more.
Pardon the picture quality.
