The Joy Of Painting

I have rediscovered my love for watching The Joy of Painting with Bob Ross. He absolutely mesmerizes me from the sound of that first brushstroke on the canvas. I am hard pressed to think of any other person throughout my life who has the voice and temperament that immediately puts me into an almost trance-like calm.

It’s so funny how that happens.

That man and his perm have left an indelible mark on my psyche. Not to mention his sheer talent. Im happy if my stick figures aren’t lopsided, and old Bob Ross is cranking out a masterpiece an episode like nobody’s business.

The distribution of artistic talent has not been evenly spread out among the masses. I came out on the short end of the stick figure for sure.
