I can't get enough of the guy. His voice is so relaxing...I just get mesmerized watching him paint. Freaking unreal what he can do with basically house painting brushes.

And a palette knife! Yes, I love Ross. Loved watching him as a kid. The snooty art professors who I suffered through in college art classes constantly trashed him, but he could paint circles around their pretentious crud.

He's great for relaxation
As far as his paintings, to me they don't look as good as they used to when his show was new.
Anybody also remember Bob Alexander ? "FIRE IT IN THERE !!!"

The guy painting Batman can possibly make a living at it though. That was always my argument. A fellow student of mine was a great landscape artist like Ross, and the instructors ripped him a new hole daily. I kept thinking he had a helluva better chance selling his relatable art to folks like Hallmark than those guys did to anyone. Thomas Kincaid anyone?

Gotta love Happy Little Trees and the Joy of Painting. Bob Ross was the coolestComment

I watched him on Saturday mornings when I had the rare Saturday off.Comment

I always liked him and never understood people making fun of him. He seemed an innocent sort of man like Mr Rogers. Bullies at school man, bullies at school. . .Comment

Bob did hard and humble work as a mentor to many artists over the years. The TV show and merchandising were vehicles and enablers for many other things he cared about. To my knowledge he was so much more than the sham dynasty of Kinkade.
Oh, and the cranky German Bill Alexander rocked too!

when it was His birthday, I had posted a few links on my FB page to foreign video sites that had a ton of his episodes up to watch. Will fish the links out--"What motivated him to throw a puppy at the Hells Angels is currently unclear,"

Bob Ross was great. One of lines I loved from his show was "My dad always said. if you want to catch a rabbit go behind a bush and act like a carrot". Now it has been a few years since I saw that episode so I might be off on the quote, but I laughed pretty darned hard when he said that.
I like the take off they did of him on Boondocks (one of the few episodes I watched)

Hells yeah!
I used to love watching him as a child, and that love stuck following me all the way through adult hood.
He's like a hairy dalai lama. I always felt so good and cheery after one of his sessions. He's more than kinda sexy too. That voice. THAT AFRO.
I've taped a bunch of his shows, and have been meaning to make my own painting with him, but have never gotten around to it.Last edited by Splitty; Jul 25, '13, 3:21 PM.Comment
