🎨 Preview the Art You’ll See at the Gallery Open House

The countdown is on! On Thursday, September 18th, the doors of Hope’s Home Studio will be open from 12–8 p.m. for a special Gallery Open House in Arvada, Colorado. More than 100 original paintings will be on display, but here’s a sneak peek at just a few of the works you’ll be able to experience in person.

Original oil painting The Lazy Watcher by Hope Blakely, tiger portrait, 2024

🐅 The Lazy Watcher

There’s something magnetic about the gaze of a tiger. The Lazy Watcher captures both the strength and calm of this powerful creature, caught in a rare moment of quiet curiosity. With fine detail, warm tones, and a spark of personality, this painting has quickly become a favorite among animal art lovers.

Golden Meadow by Marion Dutton, luminous oil landscape painting glowing with warm light

🌾 Golden Meadow by Marion Dutton

Bathed in glowing light, Golden Meadow radiates warmth and serenity. Painted by Marion Dutton, this piece was inspired by nature’s golden hour, where color and texture transform a simple landscape into something unforgettable. Seeing it in person reveals even more of its luminous charm.



The Enchanted Thaw, dramatic winter landscape oil painting with bold textures and light

❄️ The Enchanted Thaw

A dramatic winter scene where ice and light meet, The Enchanted Thaw draws you into a world of stillness and wonder. Rich textures, bold strokes, and subtle color shifts bring the moment to life — making it one of the most striking seasonal landscapes in the collection.

Why Attend the Open House?

Photos can only take you so far. In person, you’ll notice brushstrokes, textures, and details that a screen simply can’t capture. This open house is your chance to:

  • Explore over 100 original oil and acrylic paintings.

  • Meet me, Hope Blakely, and hear the stories behind the art.

  • Enjoy light refreshments while browsing in a relaxed setting.

  • Purchase your next original artwork — with cash, card, Venmo, Cash App, or PayPal all accepted.
