wait... I thought they were in a museum in Muncie. Maybe selling them shouldn't be the right choice since Bob Ross is a public figure (my opinion). But encased inside cardboard boxes is just cruel and sad. As if they were dead and forgotten.
the name says it all... they are trying to make his paintings worth more by storing them, and that might succeed suckered by the poles in the end.. oh well many have gone without as much fame maybe the knights templar are guarding them..
I know about the crocodile dudes family they were fight to keep his land that had a bunch of animals on from being demolished by a paper company?(I think) but I also think the family won after years of fighting but I don’t know what happened to bob rosses family besides his son that he had on the show got really depressed I think he stopped teaching for a while
@darthderp8066 long story short Bob was terminally ill. In the last days of his life he was constantly pressured to sign over his stake in the company. He refused to his deathbed to sign the papers. His " partners and friends" had turned their attention to Bob's family to wrestle away the estate and were eventually successful through manipulation and back handed legal tactics. Bob's family got nothing.
Although I like Bob Ross, he did his mentor & the original “happy painter” Bill Alexander very wrong by making a deal with the Kowalskis behind his back. Bill gave him everything but Bob broke his heart. Even the catchphrase “happy little…” was from Bill Alexander’s show. Sad but I think Bob “reaped what he sowed” later in life. 😢
It's a shame they contested Bob's will after he died and his son literally got NOTHING. Those so called "friends" or "business partners" were nothing more than greedy snakes.
Someone that used to work at their headquarters, overseas, said there were people there that were painting duplicates of Bob's paintings and signing his name to them. The Kowolski's will do anything to make money off of Bob. Horrible people.
@@JayNAmyHiatt There are actually Triplicates of ALL of the paintings from the Show. Bob painted 3 of each painting, One was the "original" that he used as his "model", the second was the one he was recorded painting, and the third was painted for still photographs for his books.
My mother had all his books & supplies from when he was alive. Her sister inherited the house & burned every book that was in our study, including the ones my aunt from my father’s side had published.
That’s scandalous, to think that all his beautiful artwork was treated in that way. No one had more right to the Bob Ross paintings than his son, and I’m absolutely shocked to hear that he was unpaid for his meticulous tv series that inspired so very many people worldwide, me being one such person. To have his wonderful paintings stolen by that woman and her husband, whom he considered his friend. They should hang their heads in shame, to be SOO unscrupulous as to shamelessly steal Bobs artwork from his son, the person who deserves and deserved to own, and have them in his possession. Shame too on the TV network who used his artwork for their own gain, without giving Bob a single cent for all the time he so generously gave them, he gave so much of himself to all those who loved him, but how sad it has become, that the mighty dollar,has become much more important than the HUMAN BEING. 😢😢. Rest in Peace Bob, you have given so much joy and happiness to the lovely people who truly loved you and your inspiration to keep on trying. You were one in a million,🙏❤️❤️ THANK YOU 😢
One it wasn't stolen he literally had an agreement that in his passing she'd get possession of the company. It's want Bob wanted and you say she stole it? Use your head. You Americans are stupid
prolly had no one to guide him.. tell him what to do.. he trusted in these people and that in time things would work out.. but it was already in the contract, that they never would.. im actually shocked to find out he wasnt paid.. i knew his paintings were being disrespected though.
Apparently BoBs brother was on the will as well and before his son was 18 , bobs brother sold his portion to those business partners behind his sons back ! That lady convinced BoBs brother to sell because she knew his son wouldnt ! The documentary on netflix tells the complete story .
PBS couldn't afford to pay him, even if they wanted to, further Bob didn't want to be paid by them. Bob was trying to teach as many people as possible how to paint and the show was one of his methods. Mostly, the show was used an advertising medium for his in person classes and after the 3rd season his line of self-branded painting products.
They robbed Bob Ross and his son got nothing. All those paintings belong to his son not there daughter. I hope his son gets what is rightfully his. This is not right, what did they have Bob Ross sign, he was probably not in his right mind at time of death. That's so sad and there so greedy!
I get that it’s their rightful property… but it’s a damn shame that those beautiful creations aren’t in people’s homes and museums. They need to be shown off to the world, not hidden in some fucking boxes to collect dust.
I would honestly say if anyone decided to steal them and sell them, they would be doing the world some justice. His paintings weren't meant to be locked away but to be enjoyed by all because I'm sure that's what Bob ross would've wanted. To see his artwork and be inspired. Shame.
What scam artists the public broadcasting service is. They own the paintings he did for the show, but they were donated to them?? One day in a very long time they will be put on the retail market to satisfy someone’s greed. What a shame.
PBS doesn't own them, check out some videos on Bob's business partners the Kowalskis. They own everything and screwed his family over. Don't buy anything that says Bob Ross and feed their greed.
It wasn’t apart of their “deal.” Those manipulative people tricked Bob’s brother to sell their rights. It truly belonged to Steve and Bob’s brother. Bob didn’t want a corporation. He wanted to just paint. Bob Ross Inc. is the most evil company.
The daughter should do the right thing and give all the rights to his son, like he wanted on HIS DEATH BED! But her parents were such evil people they hounded a sick and dying man and fought him until his death to keep his son from having his legacy. Horrible old scumbags and she should see that and not be greedy. But that’s the world we live in today.
@@Destinyswarrior they were legally in the right, because of how dirty they were willing to be. But morally right and legally right aren’t the same thing, and most people see it. She probably does too, but all that money can hide away those immoral feelings I guess. We see his son deserves the bulk of his estate and name, so I’m assuming she does too. I think the Kawolski side has a stake in it too, they were partners, but them having the majority makes no sense with Bob gone, and his last wishes being his son have it.
It’s sad that bob was never payed nor did he actually owned the show, he was just used probably for fame and now his paintings are just locked up (some of them) and no one gets to see them
I have a feeling that Mr Ross is looking down from one of his almighty mountains and sighing in disappointment. I hope the fact that his shows continue to inspire and instruct people brings him some joy.❤😢
It's so sad and messed up what they did to Bob. They only saw him as a meal ticket. They couldn't even respect that he was a veteran nor give him any peace on his death bed. Idk why they keep his paintings in cardboard boxes. They're such greedy mofos, you'd think they would open a museum and/or sell his paintings to continue to bank off of him 😡
If no one can own them and they’re not for sale. Then no one can appreciate them other than knowing how they were made. It’s the opposite of a Pollock.
This art work should be siezed and immediately protected from the elements like the treasures they are. It is a damn disgrace that those paintings are rotting away..
No they didn't own his paintings. They were business partners yes.. but they only got his paintings after they took his son to court over the Ross estate. They won but they were very evil people... Even on Ross's death bed they called him up to want him to sell out. He had none of it. The estate was originally supposed to go to his brother and son if any of it did at all.
If anyone thinks the Kowalskis feel shame or regret for stealing everything Bob Ross, they are so mistaken. People need to have a heart first to feel any shame for the evil they do.
Now that's just not right. If it were the case where Bob has no familial ties or next of kin I'd understand, but he does have a family, especially his son who's in th business. He should've had right to ownership of his father's paintings. What's more ridiculous is that even when they have all those paintings, they're all locked away carrying dust n no one else can view them at all. Talk about an absolute waste
There should be a museum section entirely dedicated to him. He’s one of my favourite artists. Its a shame what we see in these videos can never be seen irl
It just goes to show you that there's people out there that will absolutely take advantage of you for just about any reason thinkable!!! Poor Bob and his family... Truly disgusting 🤬😡🤬😡
They didn't pay this man and then kept all his paintings? That really makes me sad that he and his family got nothing. These were not friends but they were opportunist. Bob Ross is the reason I started painting.
I read that the Kowalski stole whatever Bob Ross’s sons had in court. And there since their daughter grinning to inherit something that she never should have had. That belonged to his sons..
@@Zelurpio This comment was posted ages ago, are you under a rock? I just didn't really check if he was alive or not. And I'm 13 btw so he dead before I was even born. No one told me.
The kowaski couple were downright disgusting Money hungry people, even on bobs deathbed they were constantly harassing Him and his family they cared nothing for Him it was only money.
So many curses are upon the Kowalskis. There are waaaayyyyy too many fans that weren't all about "happy little trees". So sad and disgusting these horrible people. Has anyone starting making any Bob Ross merch that is sending any of the proceeds to the fam?
I guess it's Bob Ross's own fault for not making a better business deal. Still, the Kowalski family just doesn't seem like they know what they're doing. What is the point of just letting these paintings sit in boxes and deteriorate? Bob Ross deserves to have a museum dedicated to his work. I wish somebody like Elon Musk would buy the Kowalskis out and make this happen.
Shame they didnt open a museum for people to view the pieces

This is so sad! Using one man’s skills for personal gain is nothing but disgusting.
keeping them in boxes instead of giving them to the son is so messed up

should be seized and return to the ross family.
Unfortunately the Kowalskis were greedy and tried to force steve ross to never mention bob in steves work
@@crack_snorting_catwhat a bunch of money hungry jerks
Ikr. They are horrible people.. yet. Since life’s not fair. Steve never won his fathers case

I SAY WE FREE THE ART
Kowalski is a Polish surname that correlates to Blacksmith. Blacksmiths in Poland are a very common surname and yes, most of them are very greedy.
they need to be grabbed somehow to put in a museum. The guy is an icon
Never buy any Bob Ross products from that company. Bob's family will never get a dime of it. They did him wrong.

They should at least have the pieces displayed for everyone who loved bob ross to see
Millions of dollars wasted In cardboard boxes that could be auctioned and donated to bob's favorite causes
If those paintings are not for sale then at the very least they should be in a museum instead of hidden away from the world forever.
They should make a Bob Ross Museum and display his works to see his happy little accidents in person ❤
Great idea. The world's worst museum.
Asking for someone to steal them. Also way to not appreciate his art. Nice video man 👍
God I hope that happens
That family is shameful. They used him and got rich off him
Bob Ross was a great painter but sadly was not the best businessman and was taken advantage of.

Not up to me to judge others, but I hop the Kowalskis knew and know how much they’re despised.
