Last month I visited the Forest Park located at Weolgye-ro, Gangbuk-gu, Seoul. I went there with family long since when it was an amusement park as Dream Land(1987 -2007). The new park opened on 2007. The park was good for people to walk and rest. Kids were playing under the fountain water or in streamlet in park. Cafeteria, Chinese restaurant, gallery were located in too. The observatory tower was fantastic to see the cityscape. In Autumn the scenery will be beautiful with cool weather. 
예전에 자주 갔던 드림 랜드가 북서울 꿈의 숲으로 바뀐 후 몇년만에 처음으로 가봤습니다. 넓직한 공원으로 바뀌었더군요. 전에 눈 썰매장으로 쓰이던 곳에 전망대가 있었구요. 여러 단계로 올라가서 보니 참 시원했습니다. 후덥지근하고 비가 오락가락하는 날씨에 전망대 안은 시원해서 좋았어요. 가을이 오면 단풍든 모습이 아름답지 않을까 생각했습니다.

드디어!! 개인 전시회의 일정이 잡혔습니다.
그동안 끄적거렸던 그림들을 모아   A illustrated Diary  라는 개인 전시회를 열게되었는데요.
왠지 가슴이 설레이네요.
일상에서 일어나는 일들, 그림일기로 전시회를 하게 되다니.. ㅎㅎ
많은 분들이 도움을 주셨고, 앞으로도 많은 분들의 도움? 이 필요합니다.
 저의 이야기들을 담았지만 저만의 이야기는 아닐것입니다. 바로 여러분들의 이야기입니다.

It was rainy and inclement weather, I joined in 40th World Wide SketchCrawl with Seoul sketchers around Jogyesa Temple located in downtown Seoul. Jogyesa Temple is an oasis of spiritual peace in the heart of the bustling metropolis. There are some historic cultural properties including traditional Korean architectures. Along the street around Jogyesa are many Buddhist specialty shops and some colorful facilities related to Buddhism. The traditional space in urban center is very interesting for our urban skechers. I sketched various sceneries here and there, looking around the peaceful temple.

도심사찰은 복잡하고 생동감 넘치는 현대도시에서 오아시스 같이 정서를 맑게 해 줍니다.
옛 것과 오늘이 공존하는 도시의 모습은 어반 스케쳐들에게 많은 흥미와 매력을 제공하는데, 특히 4대문 안의 문화재와 풍물들은 마르지 않는 스케치 소재라 할 수 있습니다.
새로 참여하신 분들을 환영하며~~신선한 스케치와 더불어 많은 활약을 기대합니다.

40th World Wide SketchCrawl, A watercolor of a rainy day

 
 
 
 
<A watercolor of a rainy day>
 
The long rain began. Rain was brought down awfully from the morning.
I am worried about whether there is a number to picture sketching so that there had been a lot of rain.
Rain decreased as soon as time passed. If it rains, a number to picture the feeling is good as there is it.
I make it so that a feeling for lyrical feeling to carry is good.

We've met at Jogyesa this time. Jogyesa is quite famous big temple located in near Kwanghwamoon. It's very crowded today because of weekend. Mostly people who want to pray and tourist. It's very nice place to draw even when it rains. There are many benches to sit and eaves to avoid from rain. The decoration of the ceiling in the yard was very touching today. Those colorful fabric are fantastic. It was very happy day with our members including new members.

우리는 조계사에서 만났다. 조계사는 광화문 근처에 있는 꽤 유명한 사찰이다. 오늘따라 관광객들과 신도들로 붐볐다. 이곳은 비오는 날에도 그림 그리기 좋은 곳이다. 많은 벤치가 있고 비를 피할 처마들도 많았다. 오늘은 앞마당 천정의 장식들이 내 눈길을 끌었다. 장식된 직물들이 환상적이었다. 새로오신 분들을 비롯해 여러 회원분들과 함께 즐거운 하루였다.
