Today's episode is a morning musing with some interesting facts about Bob Ross and his show, The Joy of Painting. I share a variety of clips from his show. There is also a small cameo from a true Bob Ross fan. (You'll have to listen to find out who!) Did you know that Bob Ross spent the first 20 years of his career as a drill sergeant in the military? It's a little hard to imagine the calm voice of Bob Ross yelling at people to wake up, clean their room, or wash the latrine. In this episode I share a little about his transition from the military to his painting studio at PBS. At his core Bob Ross believed everyone had intrinsic artistic talent that could be brought out with a little bit of patience and practice. He made thousands of episodes and all the while he believed and held for people that anyone could experience the joy of painting. He's inspired millions to paint. This is a very curated bit of inspiring information to lift your spirits in this COVID-19 quarantine time. Take a little Bob Ross time.
