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.

Blue Dala Horse
I probably got carried away on this horse. It seems to me that I've added too many layers of designs as I kept trying different brushes and practice my coma strokes.
Basic design elements worked out OK but I'm not happy with this shade of green.
The more I look at it, the more I begin to like it. If nothing else, this horse helped me decide which shade of blue I prefer to use for horses. This one is a Martha Stewart paint made by the Plaid company. The color is called "Wild Blueberry". It's a multi-surface satin acrylic craft paint.
