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.

Horse History
OK, it's not exactly painted like a dala horse. But I was less than a year old here and it seemed to impress me anyway. I've always been fond of horses and it feels really good to be designing them now.
I'm making the last of these small ornaments in red to show up best against the Christmas Tree. They are done in variations of traditional styles.
This freestanding horse is something new I'm working on to represent Christmas tree branches and garlands.
