BIO Hi, I am Gun Legler from Sweden. I live together with my cat Simon in a little village near Gothenburg On the outside I am old, but young inside :-) For so long I can remember, I have enjoyed expressing myself through any kind of art or craft. Until I was 40 I worked as a child psychologist and pre-school teacher, but after that I said goodbye to my profession and began studying at an art school. There I stayed for four years, mainly learning Graphic art (etching, dry needle and linoleum cut). I was a lousy oil painter, that medium did not fit me at all, watercolor I liked better. For many years I made collages of different kind, watercolor and textile. I grew up with a mother that sewed and a father that built violins, so I early fell in love with textures of many kinds. I have now abandoned making textile collages, but I realize that I work much in the same way with my computer art. I take a piece here and a piece there and try to make a whole of it. And I am madly in love with textures of all kinds, I can sit for hours just playing with different colors, textures and filters, making backgrounds just for fun (and for upcoming images). I work very much by intuition when I make an image, experimenting wildly with layers, textures, color and light. But the form is equally important, that�s what Graphic school taught me. I have seldom a clear inner image when I start creating, it is more a feeling I want to express. The process can be quite unconscious to me for a long time. The image gradually takes form, and become clearer to me. What I want with my images is to reach the feelings of the viewers, to make them look into their own inner being and respond in any way, regardless of which feeling is evoked.
Proud to be featured on Check it out! My other galleries. http://gun-legler.artistwebsites.com/
I am Gun's daughter Lena (zitalena@gmail.com). I am so, so sorry to tell you all that mom passed Tuesday morning, Feb 8 2022, Swedish time. No panic, no pain, no regrets. So peaceful. I tried to get a message about this on my moms latest picture, but now I can't find it. But now I have her computer and can log in. Please email me if you want. Thanks to all. Mom really loved the community!! Her gallery will live on. I have changed the address to mine, because me and my brother really would LOVE to keep her gallery open. Love to all.

Thanks for reminding us of the muted, humble side of Autumn. I appreciate that part of it as well. :)

I like this picture. I think I know what you mean. I have always enjoyed seeing the bare trees after all the leaves are gone. They have beautiful shapes. Also, all the empty bird nests are revealed. The darker colors of everything seems to say that the earth is pulling a blanket up over itself in preparation for the cold winter.

I particularly like the way you put the clear darker image to the front/side and followed up with the misty dreamy image behind. Gives good depth. :-)

moody shot and definitely a true side of autumn that isnt thought of in terms of "colour" as such, but maybve should be. Thanks for sharing :)

It seems winter is coming too soon for you my dear. I don't mind the bare, gray days... just not too much. I'm already a depressive person, I don't need to add to it. Love the photo, Gun. Hope you have a great weekend.

"Maybe it is my years as Graphic art student that taught me the beauty of forms and just the spectrum black to white." Or ,the visual 'poet' in your soul...Lovely capture,Gunsan.Sweden seems to be a veritable feast of atmospheres for the hungry eye.I envy you.This is beautiful.-M :^)

Lovely shot. The picture with its subtle colours almost make me smell the odour of the wet ground and feel the deep silence that fog brings into the forrest.
