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've seen you use this type of filter before and I don't know what it is - for lack of better words, I always thing of old parchment - but I do love the richness and age it brings to the image.

Hello Gun, Long time ... You know these lyrics by Donovan? LOST TIME __ Timothy took his time to school, Plenty of time he took. But some he lost in the tadpole pool And some in the stickle back brook. Ever so much in the linnets nest, And more on the five-barred gate. Timothy too his time to school, But he lost it all and was late. Timothy has a lot to do - How shall it all be done ? Why, he never got home till close on two, Though he might have been back by one. There's sums, and writings, and spelling, too, And an apple tree to climb. Timothy has a lot to do - How shall he find the time ? Timothy sought it high and low! He looked in the tadpole pool To see if they'd taken the time to grow That he lost on the way to school. He found the nest an he found the tree, And he found the gate he'd crossed, But Timothy never shall find (ah me!) The time that Timothy lost
