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.

SO glad your mood it high and not as in the Picture here, which though is beautifully done. Good luck with your main computer and welcome back in full power :)

An evocative image, my friend. I love the textures and pose. Well done, indeed. . With the darker evenings arriving, and autumn rains settled in, a few folk here will be feeling a bit like this. For those who are disturbed in a deeper fashion, prayer, and being there for them, does seem to help. However sometimes even that contact is resisted fiercely. Then all one can is persist in prayer, and be with them in their suffering. As one who has suffered, my heart goes out to them, wherever they are. May God bless all those who are suffering, in body, mind or spirit. May their Father in heaven hold them safely in His hand, and protect them from all enemies. Good luck with the fixed PC, and the puppies on the way. I did have a nearly-3-year-old monitor replaced by Evesham Micros, about 1998. A new one was delivered the next day. They did not uplift the faulty one for nearly a month .. ;o) Warm regards, from a very damp, windy Glasgow, John.

A picture of despair. Well done. Glad your computer problem is solved. Puppies coming. Waiting for pictures of them.

What a fabulous image, Gun. It seems time stands still for this one. So utterly desperate and forlorn he looks. Does anybody understand what he feels, I wonder? He even appears to be closing his ears as if to shut out any words at all from others, whether they be kind or not. What next, indeed.

it always amazes me how much emotion your paintings convey. You have done it again here, she seems so filled with despair. Is it almost time for the puppies? So glad your computer will be fixed and that it will be covered by the insurance.
