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.

Oh Gun, how cute. I love the beautiful green pattern. The birds have a new mom, or another mom I guess. How sweet of you to keep them nourished. And how demanding and spoiled they are. LOL This is a wonderful image of the birdies. Hugs and love, sis. Suzanne

A vibrant full-of-life image! I really enjoy feeding the birds and have several feeders on my deck, and all around my property. The babies are coming now and it is a joy to watch them. We have such a variety of different birds up here in the mountains, I always enjoy seeing what new species will come for a meal. I even feed them during the winter, when I have to shovel through snow to get to the feeders.:o) CC

They even knock on your window??? How adorable is that! Evidently, you're such a sweetie even the birdies like you. Wonderful collaging, Gun. Give your little feathery friends a seed on me.-M ;^)

Super work and I know how you feel as the birds here are all sitting in a row in the morning waiting for their feed and singing out for me to hurry up. No sleeping in that's for sure.
nongo
knocking on the window is one thing but when they ring the doorbell, I'd look out!!!!!!! LOL!!!!!! I do know what you mean though when the food is good, they call all the relatives!!!!! excellent work Gun!!!!!

Awww Gun, you have a wonderful and most beautiful heart--- May you be blessed. Your image is alluring and magical! The tiny birds seem to speak so loudly, each one positioned differently from eachother, but so merry and so happy. The colours are beautiful-- I simply adore that shade of green, reaps of health and rebirth...there is an overwhelming healing power to this image. Vibrant, and very much alive! Thank you so much for sharing this beauty with all of us
