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.

Rose, Art and Sunflower Designs
I drew This little horse this morning in colored pencils to further explore some rose designs for next years horses.
It resides in my my sketchbook along with some photos of other horses that I've made over the last few years.
This page in my sketchbook started with 2 photos of a wooden horse that I did a few years ago and I thought I'd explore elements of the design in watercolor and pencil as I think about what sorts of variations of the ideas that I'd like to carve up and paint next summer.
