Members Mel Cooley Posted June 12, 2006 Members Share Posted June 12, 2006 LOL! Several years ago I was acquainted with a woman who worked directly for infamous Bob Ross. Sadly, she claimed that in real life he was a tightly wound megalomaniac and a complete jerk (the man did have his rather dated looking grinning fro'd visage printed in earth-toned brown relief on his company paychecks and letterhead complete with a bad "groovy looking" '70s era advertizing font!). His main business was moving painting supplies to hobby painters (surprize!). His TV show mostly served as an ad for the supplies. His catalog was the "more information" you could send for at the end of the show. His painting happy little trees was basically therapy for him and his way of winding down. She said that's about the only time you'd see him in a non-agitated state. You have to admit he did make it look easy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members endo23 Posted June 12, 2006 Members Share Posted June 12, 2006 RIP Mellow Bob. Fortunately, Keeley makes an affordable Ross clone, for those who are interested. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Phineas Gage Posted June 12, 2006 Members Share Posted June 12, 2006 I have a picture on my bedroom wall of Bob Ross, smiling almost as wide as his afro, standing in front of a lovely painting of a mountain vista with brush in hand... And it makes me feel chipper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members ck3 Posted June 12, 2006 Members Share Posted June 12, 2006 I named one of my favorite Yamaha Magicstomp patches after him. It always makes me think of "fluffy white clouds." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
