    That you can't buy them means you have to paint them yourself.
    THAT'S WHAT HE WANTED
    When you give your painting to your brother after practising hours and hours it's really something special.

      I came across a commenter on one of Bob Ross’ painting videos here on YT talking about his father being a great big fan. And so he practiced painting a Bob Ross painting and once he achieved a nice one, gifted it to his old man.
      Brilliant story; definitely the right way to go about it!

    • @shockerjason
      @shockerjason 6 дней назад

      There's something truly poetic about not selling his pieces. The beauty of Bob was not the works themselves, it was how he encouraged everyone to tap into their creative sides. If Bob was alive today, I think he'd say something like "Don't hang my pieces on your wall. Instead, paint your own version of paradise and proudly display that."
      We live in an era of egotism and cash grabs where people pay hundreds of thousands for an FP Journe watch just so they can "flex" on others for the right to say that they own something that others do not. I think it's beautiful that these people aren't even willing to reduce Bob's legacy to a dollar amount.

So when he says that there should be a happy little tree with a friend... You can make a BIG OL' tree somewhere else on the canvas. It's your world and you get to make it however YOU want, not Bob.

    I met Bob Ross in the early 90's. He came to a little bitty small town restaurant (Redkey, Indiana) with some WIPB 49 PBS station execs. I was a waitress and I waited on him. He was very nice. He had a western omelette, wheat toast, and a medium milk for supper. I asked for his autograph when he left. He took a business card out of his pocket? wallet? i don't remember. He signed it "Happy Painting Bob Ross". I still have it of course. The only famous person I have ever met. He was just as gentle and soft spoken in real life.

    I watched this 2 years ago & thought something was off because I wondered why Bobs son had no part in this. Funny how the Kawolskis act like theyre so innocent and care about Bob & his paintings by introducing themselves through this as these great friends of Bob but its was all to PROTECT THEIR IMAGE. They didn't even attend his funeral, and tried to keep his death a secret to rake in MILLIONS and still do to this day. This is not what he would have wanted. The Kawolskis robbed the ROSS family, and the JENKINS of so much. Bob would not have wanted this at all and these greedy people are in it for the money. Bobs passion was to teach people and spread art and joy. Seeing them talking so highly of Bob with a smirk and a laugh all while knowing Bob is looking down seeing they went against his word, ruined so many lives and destroyed so much is actually the most dark and twisted thing i've seen in a while. They were never Bobs friend, and there is so much injustice to one of the most iconic and famous painters in recent times. Money cant buy a good soul & heart of gold, thats what Bob had that was so special and its ironic that the family that aggressively fought with evil and greedy intentions to own his name is the opposite of that. I am truly horrified. WATCH THE NEW NETFLIX DOC, STOP SUPPORTING BOB ROSS INC. & START DEMANDING JUSTICE FOR THE ROSS FAMILY AND THE JENKINS.

      Evelyn Sand I agree but the Kowalski family owns every single painting from the show and all together there are roughly I think 5000 paintings. I don’t think you could make a museum with all of just one artist especially with about 3 paintings per show it would get redundant. It would not hurt to show a little charity. They can make provisions that the art cannot be sold, given, or gain any profit from it. Who knows ?it can inspire children and adults to start painting and get more of his supplies from their business.

    There's something truly poetic about not selling his pieces. The beauty of Bob was not the works themselves, it was how he encouraged everyone to tap into their creative sides. If Bob was alive today, I think he'd say something like "Don't hang my pieces on your wall. Instead, paint your own version of paradise and proudly display that."
    We live in an era of egotism and cash grabs where people pay hundreds of thousands for an FP Journe watch just so they can "flex" on others for the right to say that they own something that others do not. I think it's beautiful that these people aren't even willing to reduce Bob's legacy to a dollar amount.

      The nice thing about Bob Ross paintings is he always used oil pants which generally continue to dry as time progresses. So as long as they are somewhat stored in a condition where the paint won't chip easily, they should be alright.
      I personally feel the Bob Ross Corporation should someday open up a Bob Ross museum showcasing the paintings and potentially the steps in between if they managed to save some unfinished pieces. It wouldn't be selling his pieces, but showing them off which I don't think Bob wouldn't mind. Perhaps if they charge admission, some of the proceeds could go to a charity in his name. However, it would be up to the corporation to figure that out.

      The paintings themselves are not as important as the lessons he taught many aspiring artists how to paint. The paintings themselves have many replications of his paintings as they where all educational pieces rather than done to sell to the highest bidder. Unless you are super rich and want to do an investment and tax avoidance scam which most expensive art basically is some are a permanent part of a museum now that is all that is necessary to fulfil his legacy of the physical art and all his footage has been well archived to hopefully be seen by future generations who want to learn about art.

    I have a question (sort of): I feel like he wouldn't have liked his paintings just sitting around in boxes. Like stated in the video, he just wanted to put a smile on people's faces to make them happy. So why not open a gallery of Bob Ross paintings? The staff could curate which ones would get put up and rotate them out on occasion. People would travel from all over to see these paintings. They wouldn't be for sale, but honestly - I don't think many would mind. Any proceeds (entry fee maybe?), initial funds would go to help keeping the museum/gallery open, and the rest could be donated to veterans since he was one himself. I hate the thought of his paintings just sitting in non-temperature controlled boxes, not looked at, until who knows when.

      *in Bob Ross voice* You know what? Let's get crazy... what the heck... put a little car air freshener riiight there. Remember... this is your car... it should make you happy.
      All kidding aside... I have a cute little Bob bobble head that talks and even has a tuny notepad with his paintings that I use as his canvas. I love Bob Ross.

      No one cares if you cried or not. Probably you cry even when you see a smiling baby

    Do not support Bob Ross Inc. They stole his name. They faught him to his death FOR HIS NAME. His own son, who shares his last name Ross, was SUED FOR USING HIS OWN LAST NAME.

    I watched Bob Ross religiously as a teenager...but didn't take up painting til I was 60. Still watch him today!
