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.

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.

Shades of a beautiful Fresco on an ancient Italian garden wall.

Finally - another 2D artist who worships the use of bold, bright color. What a truly striking painting this is gunsan. As ladynimue so aptly compared it to an ancient Fresco, (almost a lost art today - which involves the mixing of pigment into a base of wall plaster) Your skilled image certainly is comparable with the hint of literal cracks throughout, and the sparkles where light would refract off a raised texture. Truly an exceptionally pleasing piece of work.

I really like this. Great textures.
Heart'Song

Just absolutely Gorgeous!

we surely share some tastes... Nice work! Just if I may say, try to balance the blur level between the background and the overlay layer... I might be wrong... and you're in charge...

And this must be the best piece from you till now. Fantastic mood, fantastic colors and contrast, strange and bit scary but still safe pic. If you have some time, I would love to know HOW did you do this? Dont change anything, not even the smalles detail, this is perfection.

Beautiful. Your clever use of colors and details shows (at least to me) how her bringing of light shatters the darkness around her like a rock through a pane of glass. Very nice :-)
