Bob Ross: Teacher, Painter, Optimist

» Bob Ross: Teacher, Painter, Optimist

Great appreciation. Love this quote from Ross:

I got a letter from somebody here a while back, and they said, ‘Bob, everything in your world seems to be happy.’ That’s for sure. That’s why I paint. It’s because I can create the kind of world that I want, and I can make this world as happy as I want it. Shoot, if you want bad stuff, watch the news.

A thought: Ross was kind of like a video blogger. He gave away all his knowledge: he did the PBS show for free, let viewers in on his secrets…in return, they bought all his books and art supplies and he became a wealthy man.
