부천에 있는 한 중학교에서 작은 아이 KMC수학경시대회가 있어서 갔다가 아이는 시험장에 들여 보내고 그 주변을 돌아다니다 커피 전문점에서 그렸습니다. 그림을 그리며 보니 세월은 어쩔 수 없구나 하는 생각을 했습니다. 실제 인물보다 좀 실하게? 그려졌네요 ㅋㅋ Angel in us coffee라는 곳인데 에스프레소 맛이 일품이었습니다

Yesterday I visited the Korean style house village at Pil-dong, Seoul. Fortunately I could see the Korean Rice cake competition. The sponsor presented ricecake and biscuits. The site was beautiful with traditional houses. Because it locates at Namsan hillside the surrounding looks nice. Hope that we can sketch together there later!

at Sejong University

At Sejong University was there a festival. The students might have rented all the parasols, tables, and stools from the renting company. The\man seemed to be a superintendent to check the numbers of them before loading into the truck. While he was smoking, I caught the scene.

I sketched the left side of Students' Hall of Sejong University sitting in the stadium.

The weather was fantastic. It was May. Five sketchers, Koo Yoon-kyung, Park Jung-sook, Jung Un-ja, Lee Yong-hwan, and I participated in. I had to participate in my nephew's wedding in the afternoon, therefore I couldn't keep sketching together. But I made several drawings in the wedding. Thanks a lot for the participants. Hope you to post them soon!

I caught this one at the playground where kids and school boys were busy with climbing up the strings. Middle school students were there for the painting at the Park. After finishing it they were enjoying as if they were back to the past when they're kids.

.창경궁은 조선시대의 성종때 대비전을 위해 만들어진 궁궐입니다. 정조대왕이 오랜 기간 이 궁궐에서 보내기도 했지만 대비궁으로 지어진 탓에 다른 궁궐과 달리 동향이며 구성도 소략한 감이 있습니다. 일제 강점기에는 궁을 창경원으로 격하시켜 동물원을 궁에 두기도 했습니다. 지금은 다시 옛 이름인 창경궁을 되찾고 동물원도 없엔 우리의 중요한 문화유산입니다.

실제 이 맘때쯤, 궁 안쪽에서 뿜어내는 초록빛은 이 그림보다 훨씬 아름답습니다.퇴근길에 원남 사거리에서 본 풍광입니다.
