WaPo has an article about Bob Ross’s first painting going under the hammer for $9.8M.
It’s definitely worth it. The painting itself is not too exciting but it’s a cultural icon. It would be fun to have something he did during an episode on display.
The show itself is pretty awesome. Very calming. I was in some waiting room a bit ago (maybe getting an oil change or something) and “The Joy of Painting” was on without volume and it was absolutely fascinating. I’ve never tried oil painting, but it really does make you want to give it a try.
