I too, used watch him on PBS all the time. I feel like when I was a little kid, there were a whole lot of programs that showed people making things, like this program, This Old House etc. I know that a lot of people like me, watched a ton of TV growing up and perhaps coincidentally, it seems like a lot of people I know who are my age are very much into making things and I can't help but wonder if the TV during our formative years helped play a role in that.
I shared this, and I'll tell you why... there are so many "remixes" of Bob Ross's teachings that it's refreshing to see one of them uncut. That said, I would have liked to see the entirety of this painting, but I'm glad it's not set to music etc. Bob was the man, I watched him a lot growing up.
He has such a soothing aura about him. I can never find him on PBS anymore but a few years ago in my darkest hours he was pretty much my only friend. "We don't make mistakes, just happy little accidents."
I looked online once for a Bob Ross original that I might be able to afford. They're out of my current price range. I would love to own a Bob Ross to remind me of all the time I spent watching him paint. So soothing. As a kid we had a tv that only got the PBS channel and therefore, I saw a lot of Bob.
