sketches at the exhibit "fashion into art" in Plateau Gallery

in front of a famous spaghetti restaurant located near Gwangwhamun

On the way going to the Plateau Gallery I could see people were waiting to enter on 2:13 pm though. I took a photo on 2:49 pm just before I left the spot. There were customers who couldn't enter yet.

copy part of Rodin's sculpture, The Burghers of Calais, installed in that gallery

The exhibit which KW Jung introduced us to see days ago was great with new concepts in art works cooperated with artists and fashion designers. Thanks a lot for offering an opportunity to see such a precious exhibit! At the hall I saw sculptures of Rodin, The Gates of Hell and The Burghers of Calais. I tried to copy part of The Burghers of Calais and realized that people would never feel tired of seeing them and such ones could have remained as masterpieces. Great exhibit and sculptures made me feel satisfied on a humid and showery day!

People Sketches from Kunming

씩씩하게 잘 돌아왔습니다!!

Kunming, China is amazing city with dynamic contrast of lives. I was lucky to see various parts of the city. Here are some sketches from a wet market(시장), which is like farmer's market in the U.S..

Actually these pieces are from the beef wholesale market right by the wet market. We visited there before noon, but they were already closed in early morning. Just a few people were working on their meat. Three kids were running on the empty meat tables and were very interested in the tourist-looking visitors.

Mt.Inwang is one of the well-known tourist attractions in downtown Seoul. The mountain stands at a height of 338 meters, not so far from my village. From the top of the mountain, we can enjoy fascinating vistas of the city of Seoul. Some time ago, I could have a distant view of mountains and fantastic cityscapes not only from the summit, but from the important parts of ridge of the mountain.

On the way coming home after sending soybean sauce to my daughter at Gwangwhamun post office I could sketch for a while, after long, long rainy days. Though the weather was cloudy and rain dropped a little from time to time citizens and foreign tourists seemed to enjoy the flowing water. At bus stop I sketched an old man with his umbrellas, one tied on his sack and the other laid beside him

빵집에서

잠시 시간을 보내야 될 일이 생겨 파리바게트 빵집에서 커피 한 잔 시키고 앉아 있었습니다.

빵집에 꽤 손님이 많더군요. 식사를 빵으로 하는 사람들이 많은 듯 합니다.

우리집 식구들도 빵을 좋아하면 편할 텐데.

정말 더운 여름날에는 뜨거운 국 끓이고 반찬 만드는 일이 지겹습니다.

방콕

비오는 내내 집에 콕 박혀있었습니다.
비가 들이치니 창문을 열 수도 없고 선풍기 두 대를 열심히 돌리며 아이들과 종일을 좁은 집 안에서 보냈습니다.
그리고 깨닫게 된 건,
"여긴 내가 살고 싶은 집이 아니야..."
