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.

The Best Approach to Painted Flower Borders
There are a number of approaches to any design. Even something as simple as a white flower or a daisy.
I found a variation of this design in a Scandinavian pattern book. It had red flowers so considering the background color I was using I thought I'd try white.
This time I decided to just freehand some leaves and vines to drop the flowers into.
I also decided to try different lengths and numbers of petals on the flowers.
Next I tried combining them with other flowers to see how that would work. That's the beauty of painting the posts on the wheelchair ramp. I've got dozens of different surfaces to practice on and it's been quite a conversation starter in the neighborhood.
