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 like the mood - not dreary and not vibrant but just pensive...

Very nice mood composition. I rather like this kind of weather if it doesn't last more than a couple days. It is sunny, crisp, and windy here today.

You've captured the gray mood and landscape so well. We're actually having warm sunny weather up here in the mountains-a nice pause before winter. CC

this is an extraordinary work. It's like an etching, an old 19th C. daguerreotype, a painting on metal, and a soul-swept landscape all in one...and you've made it shimmer & inward & just beautiful. You even have deep greens sweeping across the trees...You turned cold & gray into beauty and inwardness. You're so good at what you do! Another definite fav.

I really like this piece Gun, I love the softness of, I love the greys with just a touch of green. This is how our days were, but now we have a few days of some sun, and the ground is covered with a light and bright white.

Wonderful work.

A terrific capture, Dear Gun! This certainly is exemplary of the kind of weather we are having around here as well; and such a terrific blend and combination of colours....... so very beautiful! It's got that "cool, chilled" feeling, and yet something very warm about it as well! Superb artwork and expression!

There's no color gray. Yours is not gray but full of motion.
