The Joy of Painting

2019 Halloween Costume
Some of today's younger generation may not remember the soft spoken, fro-permed man who simplified the art of painting. Who else but Bob Ross should be remembered the week of his birthday.

He passed in 1995 but will live on, after coming into our homes for 10 years, through Public Broadcasting System channels. He would demo, teach and complete a full painting in one episode. Today's version of Sip and Paint, or Paint and Pour has taken over for new generations bringing confidence and camaraderie to creating art.

Did you know Bob Ross-

Was a former Sargent in the military
Received 3 Emmy's for his show
Never took a paycheck for his TV performance
Donated all painting to PBS

Have a Happy Halloween and Happy Painting
