Trove of Bob Ross videos on YouTube

The late Bob Ross was a joyful oil painting instructor who appeared on PBS. I wish I could have met him and hung out with him!

This show always seemed to be playing on the local PBS affiliate when I was a kid. It’s oddly hypnotic. The quiet tone and gentle cadence of Bob’s voice, the rhythmic whakkity-wak of the brush on the easel, that giant palette, and most of all, the ‘fro.
Sweet Fancy Moses, what a ‘fro. It’s something to which all great artists should aspire, I think.
