performance at the opening ceremony of exhibition

At Insa Art Center located in Insadong, Seoul I could watch a performance luckily. It was held at the exhibition of Lee Suh Hyung. Korean traditional dancer, Na Young-ae played Salpuri Dance(kind of exorcising an evil spirit) to the accompaniment of four Korean traditional musical instrument players. She danced with her feet being dipped in red, blue, yellow color pigments. When she danced the foot prints were left on the white big mat. It made unexpected patterns as a result. I enjoyed the music, dance, and above all the sketching itself.

휴대폰이 돌아가실 때가 되었는 지 미치미치? 합니다 매장 갔더니 A/S받아야 될 것 같다고 해서 다시 돌아와 만지작 거리다 툭 꺼져 버려 다시 켜고 카메라를 찍어 보니 거짓말같이 다시 되는 군요 신통찮은 그림과 카메라로 저녁내내 헤맸습니다 ㅋㅋ

Today it was terrible with yellow dust wind and rain. But 11 sketchers participated in. We welcomed new young college students, Byun Saet-byul, Kwon Soo-yeon, Kim Ji-hoon, and Kim Seung-yeon. Their participation encouraged all of us in a gloomy day. We had nice lunch on 7th floor of Doosan Tower Building, one of the largest clothing shopping center in Dongdaemun district. Hope them to join us successively. Thanks all!

New Zealand in 2007

오늘 책상 정리를 하다가 2년전에 만들다 덮어두었던 작은 스케치북을 찾았습니다. 뉴질랜드에 계시는 외삼촌 댁 방문했을 때 여행했던 기념으로 만들던 여행 스케치북입니다. 데리고 다니던 어린 아이들이 여럿이라 현장에서 그리지는 못 하고 나중에 사진을 보고 그렸습니다.

a small concert at Seoul Nat'l Univ. Hospital

When I was leaving the hospital today some music sounded at the entrance. There was a small concert for the patients and their families. The players were the students of traditional music of Korea. Though it was the last part of the concert I enjoyed and could sketch them. What a good experience it was!
