Better than sleeping pills or acupuncture. The most relaxing Sunday afternoon activity on the planet.

Sigh. I miss Bob "happy little trees" Ross.

"Sigh. I miss Bob "happy little trees" Ross."

Did he pass away?

My oldest son, who is now 23, used to watch him on PBS. My son was 5 or 6 at the time, and he'd sit there mezmerized.

He did have about the most soothing tone I've heard on television.

I miss him too!

We used to get "stuck" watching all of the time..
Happy little trees..I loved that!

I miss Bob, too. I especially liked his "happy little accidents," "happy little bushes," "happy little rocks, paths, waterfalls," etc. :O) Sigh. Wish he was still with us.

LOL! I am a very amateur painter and I am fascinated by Bob Ross's painting technique. In fact, I enjoy all painting shows and sincerely find them interesting. That said, they truly are better than a sleeping pill. I rarely manage to stay awake until the end of the 30 minute show. Imagine how fast I would fall asleep if they bored me!
