And this

Hee! I just ordered the shirt in the link for my dad. Just what every 80 year old wants for his birthday. ;)

Great video about where all the Bob Ross paintings are - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rDs3o1uLEdU

OMG, Cooper! That was pure joy! Thank you.

I enjoyed it also.

We have one cat, Sidewinder, who is obsessed with Bob Ross. If we turn it on, she is glued to the TV. She doesn't watch any cat videos or any other TV. Just good old Bob! :)

Such fun! I would totally go to a party like that!

And how hilarious that Bob even has feline fans! Don't you just know he would have loved that!

He reminds us to focus on the process. It's a "be-in-the-moment" type of feeling that we find comforting when we're usually going about our days in a frenzy not paying attention to the moments.

Love that youtube link.

I remember watching him when I was growing up. I was mesmerized!!

When my son was a baby, he was crying for who knows why, and The Joy of painting came on. Soon as Bob Ross started talking, my son calmed down. LOL We didn't own a VCR then, but if we had, I'd have recorded every program just to play for DS to listen to. LOL!!!

I STILL watch the program on Saturday mornings, and yes, I'm mesmerized!

My son and DIL use his videos instead of lullabies fr our granddaughter!

When I was a tween (back before that was even a word!), I would watch Bob Ross on Saturday. It was so soothing to watch him paint and listen to him talk.

Idaclaire where did you see the the cute LEGO looking figures in your first photo? My son watched every episode of Bob Ross when he was in middle school and high school. I would come home from school and he was always laying down on the couch watching. I want to get this as a joke and tell him it’s for the top of his wedding cake. His wedding is in September. His wife to be is also an accomplished artist

Denali, here you go ...

I kinda want a set too. Just because.

Bob Ross was magical in every sense of the word. I especially love watching his shows when I’m up in the middle of the night. I love to listen to him talk while he brings a canvas to life. Definitely no one else like him.

Here they are Denali. I just might get my grandson one!

I watched him when I was a kid and trying to teach myself to paint. I still watch videos, just not Bob Ross.

My inspiration right now is Voka. He just kind of splashes some paint on the canvas for the background and then turns it into something outstanding. Love, love, love his style. Sometimes I try to use his technique. My paintings never turn out as spectauclar as his.....

I could watch these videos all day. I often watch them on my cellphone before I go to sleep. Weird, I know.

I bought the mug for my friend up the road who used to love Bob Ross. She and her husband once decided they would both try to paint along with him. That was years ago. When I saw that mug in Signals catalog, I just had to buy it for her. She drinks her coffee out of it.

Thank you idaclaire and Oakley! Just ordered one.

DH has the Amazon Prime account between us, so I just always email him a link to the things I want (in case he gets free shipping), and I did so with the Lego Bob Ross. Last night he asked, "So who was that Lego set for?" -- thinking that the kids in our lives are now past the age of playing with those kinds of toys. "Me!" I cheerily responded. He probably thinks I'm nuts. (And I probably am.)

I can watch/listen to Bob Ross ALL day! I watched a special on him once on PBS and funny story about his hair, it was a perm, he hated it, but they had already turned it into his logo, so.....he was stuck with it.

My friend painted a picture along with him once and it turned out pretty good!

Friday, at first I read that your inspiration is now Vodka.

It's here and I need a kid to come over. Didn't realize I'd have to build my own Bob. ;)

Nope I am vodka free.

Haha! I remembered that you don't drink so I had to re-read. I must check out Voka. Maybe while having a Vodka.

I watched a video of John Beckley painting pop art on top of a multi colored background but I haven't tried it. It's so cool, though.

Ok... he's tiny but he's cute!
