Artist Julia Persson-Morrill has had a life long interest in Dala Horses but didn't start to carve and paint them until just a few years ago. Some of the wooden horses are sold out of her studio, she can often be seen working on them out in her garden. She is happy to show the horses or share her skills with visitors all summer.

Dala Dots
Every once in a while I like to play with dots and borders as I did with the chair design that I had in a magazine years ago. it looks very different here than it did when I was designing furniture but it still works and is easy enough for anyone to accomplish.

Red Roses Dala Horse
I've included 2 images of each side of the horse because I find scans much brighter and clearer than the photos.
This design is easy to accomplish with just a few easy brush strokes and just 4 colors.
