This was the calmest guy on TV when I was growing up. Even though I have no talent for painting this guy sure did.

His show started in the early 80's and it was on public television. He died in the mid 90's at only 52 from cancer.

He was my painting teacher. I watched his program faithfully for years, bought the equipment, painted many beautiful paintings and even sold quite a few for the "happy buck" as he always said. Yes, he was one of a kind and is greatly missed.

If it can't be painted in 27minutes, it ain't worth paintin'.
Tell me that there's a joke in there about the Cistine Chapel and that other painter... :shocked:

The Sistine Chapel was a whole different level of painting. He was not able to watch Bob Ross, so his methods were a bit slower. :roflblack:

I never got quite as fast as Bob Ross, most of mine took an hour or so. I did a couple florals using different mediums, (acrylics) and spent a couple months on two different ones. One petal at a time.

The son plus several others are "certified Bob Ross" instructors. You can take in classes and workshops in different parts of the country. They have a website with all the information. We still get to see re-runs on one of our cable channels.

I watch his show on PBS regularly. The cool part of the video is it shows the way he looked over time.
