I'm sure a lot of people know who I'm talking about, but the name escapes me.

This hippy dude would teach how to paint on TV. Apparently it was a fairly popular show in the 60s, and it still used in movies as a funny cultural reference to that time.

"Okay, lets make some little happy trees right over here by this wonderful tall beautiful mountain.
Then we will make friends with the mountain and tree with Mr. River"

yea he was good, he made it look so easy. "now a little swash of kobolt blue and a dab of Titanium white, mix it to this color and take your knife and make happy little swooshes for the tree limbs"

If i wanted to take a weekend afternoon nap all i had to do turn on PBS at 1 and bob would be there singing me his lullabye.

"All right, we are going to use a fan brush here and uh why don't you take some hunter green and we are going to put a happy little bush right down over here in the corner there and that'll just be our little secret. If you tell anyone that that bush is there I will come to your house and I will cut you."

I still remember watching Bob Ross when I was in my teens. One day, Bob was musing about life. "You gotta have the bad times," he said. "The bad times are what make the good times so sweet when they roll around." There was a short pause. "I'm still waiting for the good times."

I got the feeling that poor old Bob had some depression issues.
