Cobbler’s Hobby Novelty Shoe Polish Paintings At Osceola
Wren Sherwood, a 72 year old Osceola cobbler with 32 years in footwear repair, paints landscapes with shoe polish between customers. He began after receiving a mirror with flaws and now decorates his shop walls with about 50 calendar pictures and travel images. He values a 1875 pencil drawing by his mother most, refusing a $200 offer to keep it.
