There is something special about Bob Ross, and that is evident from the fact that he continues to inspire, years after his death. Ross was a painter, sculptor, and television host who came to prominence with the instructional TV program The Joy of Painting. Ross’ laid-back approach and calm demeanor are what made the show, with unforgettable catchphrases like, like “happy little trees”, he used while he painted.
The landscapes he painted, filled with mountains, lakes, snow, and log cabin scenes are heavily influenced by the years Ross spent living in Canada. The serenity of his paintings definitely matched that of his spirit. Here are some of the most feel-good quotes Bob ross has left.
