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.

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.

A very unique treatment here that I like very much - and I agree, we are all so much more than the image in the mirror. CC

Oh no, this is no ordinary grey cat. Look at the beautiful markings she has, soft tiger stripes, beautiful fawn fur on her tummy and chest, and look how wonderfully dark that tail gets at the tip! No, she's a beauty, a princess at the very least!

This cat looks like some of our farm cats. Maybe ordinary in appearance but special to whoever loves it. Excellent painting.

your words are so true, you explain it in a way that is understandable, I guess we all have our good and best views from our self, but the most important thing is our heart, not visible in the mirror, even when we are old or grey, black or white, poor or rich, if your heart is on the right place and you can give support to your fellow man then we have reach a golden feeling, and that is love....a wonderful Cat Gun, I knew you would like it.....lovely done

The amazing mystery in feline perceptions… Indeed, what we see often differs not only to differing eyes but also to differing hearts and minds. The effect in this image is superb, intriguing, captivating. Your unique approach and ability to create intensity and wonder is remarkable. Bravo.
