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.

I see a face, hiding... and yes, lovely caramel sunshine! Today was glorious here, with temps in the high 70s... unseasonably warm.. but you won't ever hear me complain about sunlight... as here, fills me with a warm feeling!

The textures are what jump out at me, as do the colors...the byplay between those two elements is fabulous. I love the way this image invites both observation and introspection, as it's abstract enough to allow you, see anything your mind may conjure, but it also allows you to search for something within its richness.

You're right. The textures are wonderful! The light is perfect and very comforting as the light is on top just like we are used to. It seems to be sweeping past and leaving sparkles of energy in it's path.

The more I look at this, the harder it is for me to tear myself away long enough to write how much I like it. The textures grabbed my eyes first, then the golden light along the top, and slowly I began to see the world .. What a stunning image at so many levels!

(I have works to catch up on)...This is simple, gun, but truly eloquent & beautiful. All the moreso knowing that the fall was fraught with difficulties...It's like a great orb (the sun) emerging out of darkness; and the darkness is rich and has many secrets; and your texture is like the rock of ages—a kind of eternal rock...You've speckled gold-light across the upper third, like gold wind or gold dust, and it all emerges to a beautiful gold universe above. WIth a few simple shapes & a few areas of color, you've created a world emerging into light. Quite beautiful, very soulful, and though I've already fav'd it, I wish I could fav it twice...
