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.

I did as you asked and zoomed in, and that did the trick. It is a wonderful scene and so tranquil, plus I can feel that autumn nip in the air. Thank you so much for sharing with us.

I'm drooling. What a place for walks! This is sooo gorgeous, Gun. I wonder if anyone fishes in the stream, or even if there are fish there. Beautiful photograph, sis. Hugs and love, Suzanne

Nice shot. I think the horses being further away shows them in the context of their surroundings.

I don't think the picture would have been as wonderful had you zoomed in more. Unless of course you wanted the horses to be the subject of the photo. I like it the way it is. It is perfect, the lighting is wonderful. I love autumn lighting.

Such a lovely and tranquil scene. But, a single click to zoom in...and it's as if it becomes absolutely transportive and brilliantly alive. Yes, I expected it to be sheerly lovely...but never did I expect its full impact. Amazing work, dear Gun :)
