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.

Breathtaking, sis! I love the gold effect, but you know me, I love the golden touch. Interesting, but I see something on the hill. I see a city. My vision may be mystical, as this image is mystical to me. One of many meanings. Ah! That title. For me, dream/wish, as opposed to dream/vision, may disappear like bubbles. The trick is distinguishing between the two. I'm too much a creature of faith, hope and love. I believe and therefore it is! "Pure Potentiality" ;D That golden road in your image leads me to fulfillment and realization of the "dream/vision. When? It is! Hugs and love, sis, Suzanne

Beautiful Landscape, Gun!! What a pitty to know that something like this could disappear. But we have seen just enough to pick-up this countryroad in our dream and walk through the complete picture.

Yes, it is not easy to watch some dreams disappear like bubbles, but there is some comfort in at least trying different paths and enjoying the view and vision while it lasts. A very beautiful and meaningful artwork. CC

Absolutely breath taking! This is a masterpiece Gun! So many different possibilities, so many different paths and interpretations are going on here for one to explore. The colours are so amazing, and in combination, add to such a remarkable and rich mood and atmosphere. The effect is most perfect, so aesthetically and intrinsically pleasing and soothing! Superb creation, yet again!

When we willfully push our way, we often do end up with crushed dreams .. had we but listened to our hearts, we would have chosen the better way .. the path perhaps not so well worn .. My other thought was .. but wait, what lies on the other side of the hill??? A wonderful painting of great depth ..
