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.

Hehe... so cute! It looks as though our little friend may just be as exhausted as you from running around after him! :) Definitely a photograph that made me smile today! Thank you so much! I love the light that peeks its way onto doggy! He looks so soft and cuddly! Excellent capture and lighting!

Very good! I know how hard black animals are to do. Good luck!

a really fun capture, because he looks like he's resting but contemplating more mischief. Great pose, Gun. And I like the sun on him (and the little flower to the side). Good luck on your portrait, he's a great model. Lovely.

I'm guessing there is a black dog under all that fur somewhere. How cute.

He looks all tuckered out waiting for you to feed him/her

LOL, I know that look on a dog! And I know how hard it is to capture a dog. They move when they don't want you to, they always look away from the camera JUST when you snap the picture, they sulk and look SO martyred. And then just when you are ready to give up, miracle of all miracles, you get the perfect shot!

Adorable ;O)
