Remember the name Bob Ross?
Hint:
"HAPPY LITTLE TREES"
That help?
Bob was an subdued and calming artist (incredibly talented, I will add) who had a show on PBS from 1983 to 1994.
He filmed 31 seasons of his show -- 1 painting per show -- before cancer cut his life short.
I was not ever a huge fan, but I do remember being mesmerized at how the guy could put together a beautiful painting in less than 30 minutes.
I just recently heard that season 32 is now being televised on PBS:
In 1994, Bob Ross started preparing paintings for his Joy of Painting Series 32. Sadly, he passed away before he could take them into the studio. Now, charismatic Certified Ross Instructor and YouTube phenom Nicholas Hankins, having studied these last paintings of Bob’s for years, brings the beautiful, never-before-seen masterpieces to public television. Nicholas remains ferociously loyal to Bob’s world-famous painting technique and presents the new series in a way that would make Bob incredibly proud. THE JOY OF PAINTING WITH NICHOLAS HANKINS: BOB ROSS’ UNFINISHED SEASON shows viewers Bob’s practice canvases as they see how Nicholas brings them alive in real time.
Episodes can be watched at both links:
I will watch a couple, maybe more. It really is fascinating to watch how this technique ("wet on wet") is done.
Grace & Peace & Love to you all -
