Narrative:
Acorn Dreams brings a touch of warmth and whimsy to the forest. Painted as an 11x14 oil over watercolor on stretched canvas, this original design by Hope Blakely captures a red squirrel enjoying its woodland home. Created in Arvada, Colorado, the piece reflects not only Hope’s love of animals but also her daily backyard ritual of feeding squirrels — a tradition shared by Bob Ross himself. This playful, heartfelt connection makes Acorn Dreams a one-of-a-kind wildlife treasure.
