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.

oh, losing use of a computer can be absolutely maddening: It's like having your arms in a sling...and having to redo everything? It's like having to re-do your whole house...I hope it's all back to normal now. Re-doing a computer after major corruption can take days, just days, and it can be the most tedious work in the world! I really do sympathize. (You almost don't want to leave the house till it's finished, it's so demanding!) (Next time really, you should consider a Mac—they don't get viruses! Even if they don't have all the software of Windows, they're very nice to their owners...) Your photograph is beautiful & shimmering. Can't keep your eye from doing it's thing! A beautiful winter shot with nice frosty little petals & tentacles. I really like it, Gun. Hope you're feeling better now & when your computer starts behaving, scream at it, maybe it'll apologize and send you flowers. (Digital flowers. Can't be picky...) Lovely upload. Happy New Year to you! love & virus-free wishes, mark

A beautiful display of nature's symmetry. The frosty coating doesn't look cold in this image! Please relax and take a break while the computer has a mind of it's own. I'm with Mark as I own Macs - it's an artists' delight. I have a Dell at work so I get to compare the two daily and will choose a Mac every time!

This is a wonderful macro which shows the frost so well.

This is such a beautiful macro of the delicate ice crystals forming on the plant, and showing us how very cold it is there. I am sorry you have been having a rough time of it lately Gun, I wish you a much better 2009. hugs Jane xx

Oh Gun, this is so magical! Exquisite! No, I wouldn't compare it to the pros, it would embarrass them that you caught such a beautiful image with just your little camera! Grins!
