Back when I was in high school, my friends an I were obsessed with watching Bob Ross. I don’t know if he knew how popular he was with teens, but he was. He was a gentle, positive guy with the best afro who had a show called The Joy of Painting on PBS, which ran from 1983 – 1994. Bob believed everyone could paint, and as a teen who loved art and majored in it in college, I believed in him. Watching him paint happy little clouds and happy little trees was hypnotic.
I loved him and I love this remix video of him even more. As much as I loved the trippy Mister Rogers Remix, Bob Ross is so suited for this.
