My Favorite: Myeongsa Beach


My Favorite: Myeongsa Beach

August 26, 2025 (Tue) — Plein-air painting in the scorching heat

With shallow waters, fine sand, gentle waves, and a decent view—above all, the shade and beauty of a large, majestic pine tree stretching its thick branches out toward the sea create an atmosphere and style that are truly beyond description.


There is a wooden deck in the middle where you can get a great view of the entire landscape, which is wonderful.


The large pine tree wooden platform is truly a stroke of genius.


It is a place with its own unique charm...


The scenery alone is absolute art.
Someday, I want to stand right here fully equipped and paint the sunset landscape.


I couldn't bear not filling the canvas to the brim with the scenery of Myeongsa Beach that I love so much.
Around 5:40 PM on August 26, 2025 (Tue), about an hour of plein-air painting came to an end.

It was hot. Although I settled in the shade of a tree to escape the stinging sunlight, the heat radiating from the asphalt and concrete, the humid breeze, and the sun meant I had to constantly breathe out hot air—it was not an easy session.

However, since I met another precious connection on this day, I feel like I received a gift from the heavens as someone who still loves Myeongsa Beach, making Myeongsa Beach all the more a place of mixed affection!

Note for those with fur allergies (It is a dog-exclusive swimming pool.)

Work completed on Wednesday, April 30, 2025, from 1:15 PM to 2:30 PM. I've come back here again after just four days. Today, I set up my easel over on the right side, where the mountain casts its shadow. It’s a weekday, which makes it so wonderful. When will such happiness to paint like this at the tail end of April ever come again? Rapidly filling the canvas, I transfer memories that, once today passes, can never return. Starting work right away without a moment to rest—straight into it with the brush, go go. It was completed in just a little over an hour and a half. If I hadn't come here and painted in person like this, a corner of my heart would have been left with lingering regret and an inexplicable sense of heaviness. ... Memories of all kinds mix with the sound of pebbles rolling in the endlessly crashing waves and the thick, yearning texture of oil paints, melting away into the canvas. ... Even if today eventually fades into a hazy, forgotten pas...

A Life as a Painter

January 25, 2026, Sunday, 4:10 PM, at the Sancheon-ri Ecological Wetland, Osu Village, Geoje-si, Gyeongsangnam-do #. Life as a Painter To be completely honest, it might be a life lived with economic poverty and social disdain. They say things have gotten a bit better now, but from my perspective, it doesn't feel all that different from before. The greatest difficulty, first of all, is economic hardship. In a world driven entirely by capitalist logic, living without money is essentially throwing your life away without any safety net. Furthermore, the weight of the debts that pile up the more I paint is a reality so immediate and severe that it makes me want to give up on life at every single moment. #. How I Got Into Painting -- No matter how I think about it, I seem to have inherited a sharp mind from my father's side and artistic talent from my mother's side. -- Especially through painting, I realized that my mother's family's artistic talent wasn't unique to m...
