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.

Your concept is so eloquently represented in this fantastic image. Very thought provoking.

An amazing and powerful interpretation of the theme. Who knows how things are connected in the Universe and sometimes the smallest things can move boulders. CC

Ah possibilities! They are endless and that's the fun of things, we never know which one will come about, it's all kept in the mystery which time will slowly reveal. A wonderful expression of the unknown Gun and I really like the dragonfly :) Really beautiful work.

A beautiful soft focus image that reminds me that the balance of nature is very important!

Both funny and pretty! :-) I love it!

Sublime painterly creation!
anahata.c
nice to see such painterly works, you captured the balance beautifully and the knowledge that all can move in any number of directions...but the meeting of these worlds is perfect and all is in balance for the moment. A beautiful restful blue (your sky), and the boulder atop is painted with beautiful earthen tones. The dragonfly gives it all its flight and moment of pause, the passing delicacy of the now. Beautiful, Gun.

It is hard for me to find the chaos theory in your illustration work, even if the rock and the dragonfly stand for by your description. Anyway, i like the fragility you represented by the rock wich could fall at any time. Good sketch drawn too. 5+

@M2A For me as a creative thinking mind, it is not illustrating the chaos theory that is the goal here, but the chains of thoughts emanating from it. Just as unpredictable as the flutter of my wings, LOL

Great artwork !
magichild2
Excellent piece of work.
nikolais
everything is in motion, but we only perceive just a little part... everything is the cause and everything the effect...what a bottomless concept and a great work, Gun!
avalonfaayre
Yes...The Butterfly Effect. Great representation.

Simple, beautiful and stunningly beautiful artwork. I have no other words. Tony.

Wow! This is a stunning presentation of a truly fabulous artwork! I really like the contrast of the delicate, flitting dragon and the solid, unmoving stone. Superb imagery, there seems to be so much symbolism in this clever painting :)

So simple yet so stunning; beautiful work.
