I remember watching him paint as a child - totally fascinated. Anyone else love watching him?

Is he the painter who did landscapes?

Yep - afro hair, happy little trees, etc.

The paintings looked like nothing until he was finished and then they were beautiful.

Create has been running a lot of his shows lately.

I always enjoyed watching him.

I think my PBS station is running a two-day marathon "Best of the Joy of Painting". His voice is soothing and makes me sleepy, kind of like watching golf. I like that he uses paintbrushes big enough to paint a wall or door. Such talent ${#emotions_dlg.thumbup}$

There are times when you must speak, not because you are going to change the opposing side, but because if you do not speak, they have changed you.

I agree. He is the 'paint whisperer'.

I believe I remember some snobby artists saying he was a horrible painter.

I took the course. He wasn't the teacher, but it was a licensed course. Very interesting. Difficult to let go of what I "know" about painting, but once I got it I got it!

Cannot pull up the name of the man that started the whole thing, before Bob Ross. His face is in my head, but not his name. HATE it when that happens!
