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

Yes Bob.

Legend.

If only we could have a world with Bob back in it.

A lot of us would find it a happier place.

I'm another one who falls asleep to Bob Ross' dulcet tones.
ASMR at its finest

@shadypines Your username is definitely channeling Bob!

Here's a picture my daughter did from Bob inspiration, took her about 40 mins (jealous emoji)

That’s lovely - all sorts of Bob and happy trees there! Smile

tiredvommachine · 13/05/2020 17:55

Thank you, it makes me smile every time I walk past it on the landing ☺️

LoseLooseLucy · 13/05/2020 18:24

Excellent that tiredvommachine 👍

tiredvommachine · 13/05/2020 18:57

Ah, thank you! Not trying to make this thread all about me but this picture was inspired by Bob, so thought I'd share it. Normally she does photo realistic paintings that take up to 100 hours Confused

Is there a microphone in that brush!!??

SirSamuelVimesBlackboardMonito · 13/05/2020 19:08

Ah I love Bob Ross. I watch him on youtube to relax. That and wood turning Blush.

FuzzyPuffling · 13/05/2020 19:10

Another Bob Ross fan here. Watching him now. Oh Bob and your little bushy trees....

(Although he reminds us a bit of the painter in The Fast Show..."Black, Black, BLACK....!"

tiredvommachine · 13/05/2020 19:11

@AwrightDoreenTakeAFuckinDayOff I will do, thank you for your kind words 😊

EdwynCollins · 13/05/2020 19:50

I love Bob Ross. I grew up watching him
I read that he was skint so had a home perm so he wouldn't have to pay for haircuts. Once his picture was on his products it became his trademark so he had to carry on having perms. Apparently he hated themGrin

shadypines · 14/05/2020 22:03

Ha ha @BournevilleGreen yes it does and I'd never even realised!

tiredvommachine that picture is gorgeous...40 mins?? It would take me 40 mins to get the lid off my paints Grin

tiredvommachine · 14/05/2020 22:09

😂

NotStayingIn · 14/05/2020 22:13

It’s just so relaxing to watch!

Great story Edwyn, I noticed this evening his image on his pot of paint...such a good caricature so I can see why he kept that hair! When he had the robin the other day I was wondering how many of his birds had sat in his perm thinking 'what a blissful nest' Smile

Chimchar · 14/05/2020 22:19

I'm a lifelong Bob fan since my teenage stoner 3am viewing days!
My teens all watch him and one kid paints in his style for relaxation. He's just the best! ❤️

@Bertoldbrecht
Thank you so much! I have been meaning to come on and ask about the TV programme with a lady painting and you have answered for me! I remember watching painting with Nancy all the time as a child Smile
