As a kid, I loved watching Bob Ross on PBS. Heck, as an adult I love watching Bob Ross, and so do millions of other people. His gentle spirit and remarkable creativity inspire people decades after first recording his Joy of Painting. The show is a Netflix gem nowadays, if you ever want to kick back and watch the miracle that is Bob at work: in less than 30 minutes, he takes a blank canvas and transforms it in a beautiful, serene landscape populated by happy little trees and fluffy clouds. But where did these canvases go? Where can one see them today’s day?? Can us admirers ever hope to own one???
Well, the crew at the New York Times has solved the mystery! Check out their fantastic video and accompanying article, and–hint hint–consider visiting the Smithsonian: https://nyti.ms/2xHTtBk
