Turkish Shoe, Sanguine Pitt Pens, 2008

Better ‘N Ben’s Wood Stove, Sepia Pitt Pens, 2008

Yesterday I went to my Papou’s (grandfather’s) house to do laundry. While waiting between loads, I sketched these two drawings. The shoe is a little metal nicknack that Yiayia (grandmother) bought on one of their trips to Greece. I’ve always admired it but never drew it before. The wood stove has always been one of my favorite things about Papou’s house. It is in the garage and it heats the whole house. Unfortunately, it was very hot in the garage the whole time I was doing laundry. I’ve always been intimidated to draw the stove because it looked too complex. I’m glad I made the attempt though and I might even try it again.
