hi.. richard~!
how's everything?
i was so happy to hear that you are working hard with your paintings...
um.. i think you are so self-motivated and.. well-organized..
and because of that.. you can be a painter.. i believe..
where do you usually get the idea for your painting..?
whenever you talk about your next painting.. and what you are planning
to
draw..
i think you are a genius.. and a born painter...
your paintings are sometimes.. mystical.. but sometimes.. they are
sarcastic..
that's why i like your paintings.. i can interpret them in many
different
ways..
i look forward to get the photos of your paintings.. so much..
especially.. 'the burial of Karl Marx'...
i wonder what it would be like.. hehehe...
by the way..
i'll be in seoul for the whole summer this time.. except during the last
two
weeks of june..
actually.. couple of weeks ago.. i dreamed of going to canada..
i have been pretty depressed.. so.. i felt like going to vancouver.. to
see
my cousins and.. you..
you know what?
the time that i spent in vancouver.. is like a comfort memory for me..
whenever i have hard time from studying or became sick of routine
life.. i
reflect the memories in vancouver..
i haven't noticed it until this year..
don't know why.. but this year.. i miss all the places that i visited
in
vancouver.. and all the people i met there..
but... but...
the circumstances don't allow me to go there..
so sad....
please remember all the good places and show me.. when i go there some
time
in the future..
and...
i can get your pictures in seoul until around 20th... i'll be back to
seoul
in the beginning of july..
if i go back to sunchon.. this time.. i'm planning to go to hike and
visit
some temples.. which are famous for beautiful sceneries.. many people
come
to sunchon to visit the temples
um.. i've never been there although my family live around there..
(actually.. i've been there once when i was little... but don't
remember
anything...)
i promise you to send pictures of the temple and me if i take some..
good luck with your painting...!!
talk you soon...
miss you always...
