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.

Cats always have a way to look so at ease don't they! this is a wonderful portrait :)

The one thing I learned from cats is that sleeping is one of the most fun things you can do. This is a gorgeous picture, well executed and presented. Hopefully you'll resolve all of the technological questions facing you now that you're switching to vista...something I have yet to do.

I changed to Vista some months ago and also had some problems with my PSP7, but after a long day playing around I just made it work. Wish you all the luck! (Vista is a bit naughty getting the updates of old programs). About Simon it's a lovely picture, and I bet he is just relaxing a bit with all this cold weather ;O)

This one is lovely Gun, very soft and dreamy ... which is what he is no doubt doing! I think you will enjoy Vista, I upgraded in April and really have enjoyed the enhanced graphics cabability and how you can now view pspimages, etc.

Gorgeous cat. Come to think of it, he looks a lot like my Atticus! : ) Nothing cozier than a sleeping cat. I love how you framed this photo.

Simon looks so loving and so sweet.... in spite of his recent "lazy bone" tendencies .. hehe.... You've done a remarkable masterpiece of a painting..... absolutely surreal, as Simon looks so soft and so precious resting on that lovely cushion. So gifted, you are my Dear Friend. I wish you a smoothe and easy transition...

Lovely cat. Great painting. Good luck with switching to Vista. I have resisted and still use XP.

Simon is an incredibley wise and handsome cat. He knows when to come in and when to stay out. When the days get shorter, it is time to find a warm spot to ride out the winter, and he knew right where that was! Such a gorgeous portrait of Simon. I used to have a tiger cat very much like Simon, her name was Boo-boo, and she died when she was 20 years old. She was a magical cat!
