Speaking of painter Bob Ross

I just learned that an exhibit of his original paintings is on display at the Penticton Art Gallery in Penticton, British Columbia, Canada from July 4 to September 13, 2020. They've named the exhibit "Happy Little Accidents."

If you're lucky enough to be in the vicinity, what a treat to be able to see them in person.

I never did one of his paintings but I loved watching him. His voice was so soothing I would fall asleep when he was on!!!

He had a very soothing voice and I loved when he included some little critters in his pocket, like baby squirrels or something else that had been abandoned and he was nurturing.

I watched many of his shows, bought all his books, used his line of paints, and had fun doing landscapes, naturally it would also have a cabin and water nearby. Typical Bob Ross.

Of course, my canvass had a LOT of happy little (well maybe not happy) accidents! Oh, and I would slap my brushes against the easel, just like he did.

It would totally destroy my faith in that man if I saw him ranting and raving about something behind the scenes!

Bob Ross’s is the voice of three sleep stories on Calm, very

relaxing.

Thanks for sharing @GingerPeach .

Just watching Bob Ross now. The PBS Create Channel airs two episodes Saturdays at 9PM ET, and an episode weekdays at 11:30 AM & PM ET. Very calming to watch and listen to him. I find myself looking at the sky and clouds and thinking how the colors would translate to a Bob Ross painting.

Last weekend at the grocery store there was a Bob Ross magazine, sort of a tribute, like they do for so many celebrities. Very interesting to see photos of him from years ago and to read how/why he started painting. And about the finger he lost, why he went with (and stayed with) the permed hair, etc.

Here's the magazine and it has about 100 pages of information and lots of photos.
