Artwork: "Dala Horse Reflection" Giclée Print 8x10 or 11x14 Artwork by Rachael Koppendrayer

Title: "Dala Horse Reflection" Artist Rachael Koppendrayer Medium: Giclée Print of Colored Pencil Drawing Size: 11" x 14" inches Story: When I look at the water, what do I see? Freckles and speckles reflected back at me? Do I see my insecurities, my faults, my fear? Or the potential of what could be, and the dreams I hold so dear? Originating in the province of Dalarna, Sweden, the Dala Horse (Swedish Dalahäst) is a brightly painted wooden horse that has come to symbolize Sweden as a whole. Originally, they were unpainted, but the Falun copper mine produced red pigment that proved popular for the horses. Later the fanciful saddle and designs were added in the popular Scandinavian style of the 1800’s. The story of the artwork is included with purchase. Giclée prints are printed on certified archival cotton rag. Prints are all matted; an 11×14 matted print fits a 16×20 frame and includes the artwork story.
