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.

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 agree withe wotan, and I say that the eyes of the model are "intriging" ; and the atmosphere is cold, and grey, like a sad sad son floating in my head...

This is quite lovely Gun. I love the almost Gothic quality of the colors and mood in this bleak yet beautiful landscape.

It sounds as if winter isn't very far away for you. This is a great autumn image with the super textures of the field and the bleakness of the whole scene. Excellent work.

oh wonderfully moody image Gun! She is so resplendent in her whiteness against the bleak background! Eeek frost already! Sounds like it might be a cold winter this year! Martin

Oh my, a whole new line of thought, not Jack Frost .. but a female, Cold as Ice .. comes with Autumn, heralds Winter. Perhaps she is Winter, who tiptoes into Autumn to remind us of what's to come ..
