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.

A splendid tree and stunning artwork. I adore trees, For they not only give beauty but shelter, food, and something strong and wonderful to lean on when needed. It is a little sad to see such beauty in the death oF the leaves, but isn't the rebirth magnificent. CC

You've really caught the melancholy of fall, that strange green-brown that nature gets when fall's decay sets in: It's dreamlike, lost in remembrance and touching...Your oil-lines give the feeling of the Past caught in time, and the patina makes it feel aged & fading. The main tree has quiet radiance in the center, the bushes have deep & beautiful darks, while your foreground is muted flame (!). A portrait of beauty-faded, yes, and moving ever-closer to sleep: But for all its sadness, it's quietly & poignantly beautiful. A touching portrait of Majesty quietly moving towards deep sleep...

This is so beautiful, and I love the brush texture. This is warm and comforting in a beautiful array of fall colors. Excellent work!

The textures are what drew me into this image...the colors are fantastic, and it's usually a sense of color that I'm drawn to first. There's a lot to see in this image, a lot to absorb, and I love the manner in which you've created and presented this. There's an elegance here, as well as the paradox of timelessness and time passing. Great work, and I'm glad I saw it...glad--as well--that I have to explore more of your gallery!

Exquisitely beautiful. Autumn is a strange time for me. It is my favortie season, yet I feel restless, I have the urge to move, to leave .. perhaps it's the primitive urge to follow the great herds of Buffalo or deer as they move slowly southward to winter pastures .. a migratory urge ..
