Relax With Bob Ross

[changeling67]

When I was at my most stressed, I used to watch one of Bob Ross' programmes on one of the Discovery channels.  I like his mountain/snow scenes, but mostly I used to watch him as his voice and easy manner brought my stress levels down from wanting to throttle fellow commuters to Zen in a comparative short time.  I would take his lessons over therapy any day.

Sadly, Bob Ross passed away over two decades ago - but he is responsible for bringing peace to this house :-)

Bloody heck.. That guy is just... good greef. Those trees you could CLIMB! and all done with about four implements. I LOVE the idea of doing the tree branches with a blooming 2" wall paint brush, and a sort of palette knife. Wheweee. Those mountains were so SOLID! I am AMAZED... and delighted. Isn't he NICE!!

I think we're so luck in this modern age, that tho people persons have 'died' they haven't!!! we still have them alive and talking and BEING on our screens. (It might be a bit disconcerting to the families they've left 'behind' but then... maybe not?) I miss Pete Postlethwaite ever so much, he just was such an understated actor and a terrifically NICE man. NICE NICE he was.

Ooh Rosie, you are amazing with all your goodies! Your life must be full of joyous treasures, like an Aladdin's Cave.

I am ASSURED by Haitham Oussam that your book IS ON ITS WAY! YAY...

I loved Bob Ross. He taught me how to paint and how to channel my anxiety through a paint brush. It was a very sad day when we lost him.

I must admit I am a late starter re BR - only found his programmes on Discovery a couple of years ago. He just seemed so nice and the paintings were easy on the eye :-)
