Let's talk about Bob Ross, my favorite TV painter!!
Okay! Robert Norman Ross was an american painter, television host, and art teacher.
He was a great guy, an excellent landscape painter, and an extremely calm person much like another favorite of mine, Mr. Rogers.
He created a show called "The Joy of Painting" that aired in the U.S., Canada, Europe, and Latin America and ran from 1983 to 1994 on PBS.
I LOVED IT!!! he could make that canvas come live with just a few quick strokes.
Yes, It was amazing how a few brush strokes turned into an amazing landscape. Even after his death, he became internet famous with tons of fans on YouTube and many other websites.
I will have to look for his videos on the internet when i need some calming, reassuring words.
Yes his voice was soothing! Another interesting fact is that Bob lost part of his left index finger when he worked as a carpenter in 9th grade! He was still, however, able to hold his palette.
