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 don't think that yourbasket is full of emptiness... but it's always full of fantasy, colour and feeling! Wonderful composition! :)

hmmm! dont think is empty! or full of nothing!Sometimes what we want is not YET there, but it will arrive...in my view, if we walk with a basket, it means we want and we are searching for something, so...! and this image is misterious and thought provoking. beautiful.

Even you empty basket picture is interesting. Have you checked to see if there is a secret compartment in the bottom of your basket? I know that empty basket feeling so well. Sometimes mt basket is not empty but just overflowing with creations that never developed correctly. Yesterday, I sorted my basket and tossed out 93 items. Now I'm starting out with a new basket!

A wonderful depiction of your empty basket but to me your basket always looks full as your images are so amazing. Wonderful textures in this one.

I love the feel of this image. There is promise here, and mystery. What will we see when she emerges from the mists, the smoke from the cooking fires? What does she look like? I think she is pregnant, there is something in the way she is walking, holding that basket, carrying herself. You see? no empty baskets here. They are filled with promise. DA has some wonderful stock images, I have not seen this one.

Her basket is not empty at all. It is filled with hope and wonder and desire. As she proceeds thru the fog and mist of life the basket gets fuller and fuller. Sometimes what is added is dispair and disappointment, but the one thing that is always true is that the basket is never empty. Fantastic image here with awesome work on setting the mood and atmosphere.

I would say your creative basket is quite full. This is wonderful. CC
