Narrative (alt version):
Cheerful and curious, Acorn Dreams captures the spirit of a backyard squirrel in the heart of the pines. Painted by Hope Blakely as an 11x14 oil over watercolor on stretched canvas, this is a complete original design. Both playful and refined, it reflects Hope’s love for the squirrels she feeds every day in Arvada, Colorado — a nod to the same gentle affection Bob Ross was known for. Acorn Dreams invites viewers into a woodland story that is as real as it is enchanting.
