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.

another beautiful image from you, gun, you've made it look like the whole image was woven out of a deeply sensuous fabric...and it gives the flower the feeling of a gift. And your framing, with curved edges in a rectangle makes it more of a gift. A beautiful transformation of a flower. Very sensitive & sensual as always...

Beautiful, velvety soft image, Gun. The colors are spectacular, as is the light of the sun reflecting on the leaves and flower. An image of life.

Oil painting whether in real life or simulated digital always rules.

Lovely texturing and subdued, earthy coloring in this pretty image :) It is amazing to me that the sun is 93 billion miles away but that we can feel it's warmth caress our skin. It only takes 8 minutes for light to reach us from the sun! Our Creator is truly awesome and amazing ...

Beautiful composing with tonal variations.

Very lovely shot, Gun! Yeah and it is a great ritual to have, almost spiritual in nature

Beyond lovely, Gun. I adore the muted effect and tonals in this, as well as the framing. But, oh the perfection you've achieved as far as the overall balance here is a veritable eye-feast, dear lady. And the flower? It resembles a dogwood blossom (is it?), but I struggle to firmly identify it. Then again, that only adds to the intrigue. :)

This is just beautiful. I love the muted colors and the delicate look about it. The wonderful grainy texture reminds me of a giant airbrush image.

It's beautiful, it has that early spring feel, the sun trying hard to shine through the clouds, and all of the earth turns to face it. Here, spring comes slowly too. There's a feeling in the air that any second now the trees will burst forth with a soft haze of green .. you know that moment before the leaves open? But now there is snow in the forecast for tomorrow, about 76 millimeters possible (is that right? it sounds so much more then 3 inches!)
