BOB ROSS IS A GOD!
seriously, hes so awesome! the dude was always in his own little world… haha…
my friend is dressing up as him for halloween. we bought a huge afro wig at the dollar store today…. prize winning outfit according to me!
and even though his paintings are totally cheesy, i still sit here, jealous as hell, because he makes painting look so simple! it literally takes him a half hour to do these crazy paintings based purely on his imagination…
if only it was that easy

one thing im wondering about…. why do YOU guys think he never painted people?

“Any way you paint a tree, chances are, somewhere there’s a tree that looks like that. Years ago, I tried painting portraits, and I had a hard time. Number one, I couldn’t capture the essence of what makes a person an individual. The other thing was, if you paint a landscape, and it doesn’t come out just right, somebody else will come along and say, ‘Hey, I’ve seen that place, maybe I used to fish and play there.’ If you paint a portrait that has one eye square or something, I guarantee everybody’s going to notice it. So I gave up portrait painting. My portrait teacher told me to go paint bushes and trees, because that’s where my heart was.”
“I got a letter from somebody here a while back, and they said, ‘Bob, everything in your world seems to be happy.’ That’s for sure. That’s why I paint. It’s because I can create the kind of world that I want, and I can make this world as happy as I want it. Shoot, if you want bad stuff, watch the news.”
My father and I will sit and watch bob ross paint together. . . .it takes me a while to get over the sheer hilarity of his hair! but i can’t deny the mans got some skill. . .
He is helluva good at what he does!! and well…portraits you have contours and shades and they have to look human…unless he is creating a whole new race of its own then maybe he would do portraits. His paintings have this very calming effect…love it.
