...ever seen a deciduous tree? Does he think they're too sad to paint? Or can't he do them?

I think it's because he lived in Alaska for quite a while and it is much easier to paint a mountain scene with an evergreen😀

Bob Ross could paint a black square and I’d still adore watching him and listening to him.

The man was an absolute legend. Him and the wee rescue robin 😍

I do think he has painted some naked trees though.Smile

Oh I love Bob Ross. I sometimes use his videos to sleep too, except his "beat the devil out of it" action tends to wake me up. Ha!

Would have loved to see what his paintings would look like today if he was still alive.

Love Bob. Still reeling at finding out that it was a perm. Shattered my illusion somewhat.

UnabashedlyNeurodifferent · 12/05/2020 20:32

What?! You mean his hair wasn't naturally that way?

UnabashedlyNeurodifferent · 12/05/2020 20:43

Oh my. Just googled it, had no idea.Smile

The episodes after his wife died are so painful you can hear his sadness. And when he said about the little tree because everybody needs a friend sniff.

He used to be in the army screaming at people. Grin im pretty sure he was missing a finger as well.

I’ve been single for forever and a day.

I used to love putting Bob Ross on PBS in the US when my boys were little, it made them so calm, they loved to watch him paint happy little trees. Years later I found out lots of my friends used to do the same to get the kids to sit quietly.

helloPig · 12/05/2020 22:11

i watched him tonight on bbc4. so soothing!
