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!

at the play yard of Children's Grand Park

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.

The wall of Chang Gyeong Palace

24x18cm, at Jongno, Seoul

Chang gyeong Palace was built king seongjong of the Joseon Dynasty for King's mother in 1484. This Palace looked out on the east and smaller than other Palace, because of mother's palace
.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.

I went outing by Anseong Nansil-ri. There is where Jo byeong-hwa poet's paternal home is.Spring sun had bloomed fully in the poet's hometown village that puts together and leaves literary achievement and goes age.
Usually, meets poet several persons who form intimate friendship and spends and fell on good hour. I thought that should say hard picture and poetry.

two sketches

I sketched the Students' Hall of Sejong Univ at the main entrance of Children's Grand Park. To say the truth the roof of the entrance should be drawn longer than this. I found that after finishing the washing.

A soldier entered the subway. I wondered whether he was going to home or military unit.

two sketches at Inchon city

Today I went to Inchon city for sketching. The left one was drawn at Hwa-soo Wharf and the right one was made at the village near Dowon Station. Whenever I go there I feel it shows endless features, which has many kinds of ports, Int'l Airport nearby, large scale factory sites, china town, old and new villages.... I thank for Inchon city and am satisfied with the fact that I can arrive there within one hour.

안녕하세요? 금번 27차 스케치크롤은 광화문에서 시작하여 경희궁 서울 역사박물관, 삼성병원내의 경교장과 정동 혹은 서대문로타리로 정했습니다. 만나는 장소는 광화문에 위치한 세종문화회관 계단에서, 시각은 오는 5월 15일 오전 10시 30분으로 합니다. 많은 참여 바랍니다. 그날 뵙겠습니다.
(Hi, It'll be nice to sketch together on a beautiful spring day. It's a Teachers' Day in Korea too. We'll start sketching from Gwanghwamun Square. Because It's the center of Seoul in the sense of historical and geological location in Korea, we want to sketch the place often. The next place will be Seoul Museum of History located at the Kyung-hee Palace. After that we can sketch Kyung Gyo Jang where Kim Ku used his private house as an office for a provisional government from 1945 to 1949 till he was assassinated by Ahn Du-hee. The building has been used as Samsung Hospital till now. If we've enough time to sketch more we can move to Jeong-dong or Seoul Railroad Station which is under refurbishing.Hope many sketchers to participate in this sketchcrawl!See you at the frontal steps of Sejong Center for the Performing Arts on 10:30 am, May 15, 2010.Thanks!)

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.
