a woman with a lunch plate on her head

I sketched her from the bus window. She was carrying a lunch plate on her head to a near shop or merchant at Chongro street of Dongdaemun Market, Seoul. Though the street was crowded with pedestrians and merchants I omitted all but her because I thought she was walking toward the hope and dream of her life.

"Spring"

This sculpture "Spring" was installed on 2006 celebrating the restoration of Cheonggyecheun, Seoul. The artists Bruggen and Oldenberg had created this one inspired from the shell, the development of Seoul, the Korean women's traditional dress ribbons, blue and red. I hope the Seoul sketchers to have chances to draw around this for best results in next sketchcrawls if possible.
