The Joy of Painting w/ Bob Ross

My fiancee first noticed this guy and said he is so mellowed out and must have some really good weed lol..........

"There are no accidents...only happy mistakes."



Wish I had that kind of optimism...

the way he makes the brush sound, its so relaxing

i always liked that guy...rip.

I love it!

:LPSEV:

Oh I loved watching his show stoned as hell at 4 am.

This dude is the Mr. Rogers of the painting world, he was just about as relaxing and calming to watch.

I take back my pedo comment. It seems like he was well loved. Sorry.

man, bob can paint some good shit lol

Even as a little kid, I would watch him paint. I loved his paintings, but it always seemed like he ruined them with too many trees in the foreground.

You're forgiven, now go paint a happy little tree in your world, lol.

I used to watch this street performer kid, about 20, working Venice Beach in Cal. All he had was a stack of cheap ceramic plates and little board he used for a palette. Nothing else.

He sat on the ground on the boardwalk and you give him a couple of bucks and he'd take a white plate, dip the tip of a finger in the paint and create the most beautiful art FAST(!). Tropical sunsets, city and mountain skylines and ocean scenes with birds and animals. It took him about 3 minutes for each one. All he used was one fingertip. All his art supplies were a board he would find on the ground somewhere in the morning, some paint and some blank white plates and his fingertips. He just dotted and smeared away and always had a big crowd of people watching oohing and awing.

Hell, I sculpt and do woodworking. I have a whole room full of tools and supplies and am always looking for more to buy, or everyday things I could use for textures and stuff. This kid creates remarkable, legit art with a fingertip sitting in the street. I'm doing something wrong. NO! I'm NOT a gadget freak for instance like most of todays (ahem) so called "photographers". And I have a degree in fine arts photography from Brooks Institute. I have ONE decent camera that I use to still do consulting work for film, video and commercial productions. I quit "the biz" years ago, but still get calls for help now and again and it does real nice for paying bills.

I live to work with dogs. They're my first love. Working with artists and designers (REAL ones) fills my other passions (and my checking account).

I can't imagine a world without art or canine companionship. Ugly ugly ugly boring predictable and a waste of life.

I find it interesting he ends with "god bless" sure don't hear that too often on TV anymore

Couldn't agree more!

love yes.

sadly they paint with feces in new york now.


much has changed with the advance of stupidity.

Love him. He is so pleasant, like a foot rub after a 1,000 mile walk. A truly good soul painting in the heavens.

^THIS x 1,000,000

Art will always be super-cool

Love this guy, teaches so much and so much more.

like

listening and looking to Bob calms me down so much....

thx for posting.


peace

The visual valium dude is dead?


RIP bobby

Peace

Let's put a big ole tree here. The little birds need a place to rest their feets.

I wish youtube would just leave the full episodes up, I like having him playing in the background to keep my blood pressure down when working.

Is he dead

He's been dead for years
