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.

"So, the season of the fall begins,Down the crossroads in a sleepy little inn,By the fire when the sun goes down.But the night becomes you, And the secrets of the rain,Forever autumn. And the season of the fall begins,Out the nightlands when the thunderstorm sets in,The secrets clear in the cloudy night,But the night becomes you, And the secrets of the rain, they will stay the same,And the time will come soon,With the secrets of the rain, and the storm again.Coming closer every day, forever autumn,And the season of the fall begins,Past the passingbell, past willows weeping,A ripple forms on the brinks of time.But the night becomes you,And the secrets of the rain, they will stay the same,And the time will come soon,With the secrets of the rain, and the storm again.Coming closer every day, forever autumn..." SUBLIME COMPO, GUN, this blend of colors inspires my mind to travel to the distance, a place where all my dreams come true, openly and humbly!!!!THE EIGHTH WONDER OF THE WORLD IS BEFORE MES EYES, GUN, BRAVOS.............Vote............SG

oh gunsan what are we to do with you. i have had one of your paintings in my head all day for some reason. "Yearning", your are impossibly, unpredictable, improbable, steadfast in your resillience, brilliance and like a pivot in a persons deeper innermost thoughts, compelling us with your many shades of color and shapes, like a person with a magic stick pointing and prodding speaking through a dream, exclaiming with no mouth "look here"
SoulEatar
Interesting feel for me you have given a sort human charicteristic to the season - very nice :)
