Bob Ross

1942–1995

Best known for his PBS show The Joy of Painting.

I might not drag out my oil paints very often, but Bob Ross still shared with me the joy of painting.

More than that, he shared with me the joy of life, the importance of being kind, especially to animals, and much wisdom about creativity and the nature of talent.

Sometimes you just need to draw a happy little cloud, or give a tree a friend so he doesn't get lonely.

And sometimes you just have to beat the devil out of something.
