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.

Ooooh! Sis, I love this. For me the moon is a goddess, but sometimes the moon is a god, depending on the mythology, time and culture in history. Whatever, the moon has an important role to play in our world and our lives. The tides and body cycles, for example, are effected. More babies are born at the Full and new moons. Moods also can be effected. For me, the moon has nothing but good effects on me, besides being beautiful. After seeing the full moon and full eclipse, I am all the more in awe. Thank you my dear moon sister. Think of how we can look at the moon and see one another. She carries our smiles around and around for us to grab and hold. Hugs and much love, dear one! Suzanne

Beautiful image!

Ohhh, dear Gun...I take this image gently and wrap it about and within myself. Know that even when her orb is not readily visible to the eye...that she still bathes you in her loving light..And, sometimes, in those darker night skies, her power still exists. Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful :)

Sister Moon, as some American Indians know her by. She was shining down so brightly at the Hollow the other day, that we didn't need any other light to see by! It was wonderful.
