I never get tired of finding different variations for the designs that I use.
Whenever I'm stuck for ideas on color combinations or patterns to use on Dala horses I just go up and down the ramp and look things over until the ideas begin to pop.
It's a great source of reference material because each of the designs that I've tried has been done in an assortment of colors of different backgrounds so I can just see what works best together.
Both of these photos were taken on the same day. We woke up to snow but by 2:00 in the afternoon it had gone again.
The green post was designed and painted by my sister and fellow artist Becca.
Here there are posts painted by a couple of my sisters along with the ones that I have painted.
