Back in the days when MTV was worth watching, Bob Ross did a couple of great ads:

“maybe a happy little tree lives right over here...”

I love Bob Ross. He makes painting look so easy. I later learned that it apparently is not the case after signing up for painting class in college.

Bob will put you under his spell!

As Bob might smile and say, “The election of the African communist Ubama was just an unhappy mistake.”

Loved to watch Bob Ross paint happy clouds. Mr. Henrickson, does your wife paint? If so, I’m wondering if I took some classes from her or some very nice beautiful lady whose last name was similar to yours.

Bob Ross was entertaining but this is how painting is done

It takes keen observation.

As an art collector, I am not that big a fan of his. Still, considering his iconic and lasting legacy, the $5K- $10K range of the value of his art is a pretty good bargain.

William “Bill” the “BamBam Man” Alexander was more fun to watch.

Fire the color in!!!

1 block from my home here in Tainan, Taiwan, there is a restaurant dedicated to Bob Ross.

Pictures of him all over the walls. Video screens (large) playing re-runs of his drawing show, "bob Ross"-type pictures on the walls. Painting accessories, easels, palettes, brushes, around the place as decorations.

Place is named "Whiskers" in honor of his facial hair.

Its a weird weird world.

I just walked over to the place....it's closed today.

Lol.

Years ago, (Back when there was Music still on MTV and Michael Jackson had yet to be abducted by Aliens and subjected to disfigurement via medical procedures) my wife and I both worked at a local furniture store. In the main showroom there were racks of TVs constantly running. When it came time for Bob Ross the whole store would congregate in the main room and lounge on the Sofas and watch Bob.

It was like a meditation class and a nap all rolled into one! I sure miss Bob, he put the "Z" in Zen!
