Anyone remember Bob Ross?

He was such a nice person, his sweet personality came through with everything he did. I once got set up ahead of time and painted along with him. My result didn't look like his, but it wasn't terrible.

[Wouldn't you hate to go to a funeral with @Beezer ? I know I'd end up giggling like Mary Tyler More at Peanut the Clown's funeral.]

We (Black folks) always say that if you go to a funeral and someone hasn't made you laugh, then it wasn't a "good" tribute to the deceased. BTW, my son told me that when the time comes for him to eulogize me, he's going to make sure he tells people how hilarious I am. And I'm sure he'll give some examples to make them :ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO:
 
I remember how he would paint a shoreline of trees on the other side of the lake. He didn't paint a tree, and then paint another. He had some way to smuge his brush horizontally across the canvas and end up painting hundreds of trees with one sideways stroke of a brush.

He said once that he used to be in the military. All day long he had to follow orders and do things a certain way, then he would come home and paint so he could do things any way he wanted to!

Why do you think he had no artistic skills? I'm just curious. I heard the same thing about Thomas Kincaid from a friend whose mother was an artist. I love his and Bob Ross paintings.

I didn’t mean to imply that Bob had no artistic skills, just that for me his strongest appeal was his soothing tones.
