The world lost a great person when Bob Ross passed away in 1995, and I didn't find out until about 2000, and I was heart-broken, as I faithfully watched the Joy of Painting whenever it was on, and taped many of the episodes off of PBS in the early to mid 90's. One of my favorite memories of him is how he made the viewers feel like we could do a painting like his, even though that in all probability, it wouldn't look as real as his, but he never acted phoney or that he was anything special, but we all know he was, and probably an even better human being. His quiet demeanor sometimes put me to sleep during the show, but that's not a knock on Bob, as he was just that soothing and meticulous with his paintings. Other memories of the Joy of Painting was Bob introducing us to Peapod the pocket squirrel,a rodent he would feed right before he created another awesome painting; I think he also had other animals on the show, though I'm not positive, but I digress. I know he had a few guests, such as his son Steve, to do their own paintings, but Bob was the true star and master painter.On a final note, I'm not sure how long squirrels live, but I have a feeling that Bob Ross and Peapod the pocket squirrel are both looking down on us as we enjoy paintings and nature in general. Happy painting and God bless, my friend.
