Bob Ross Painting Sells for More Than $9 Million

I think everyone in their 50s and older has seen or heard of painter Bob Ross. The twenty-year vet of the United States Air Force became a star via his PBS show, "The Joy of Painting." To me, it seems like his show is much, much older than 1983 (ending in 1994). Maybe it's because his manner is so much like Fred Rogers, another PBS icon.

His first "television" painting, "A Walk In The Woods," just sold at auction for $9.8 million.

Bob Ross is still a brand. He has over 5.6 million subscribers on his YouTube channel where you can watch all of his "Joy of Painting" shows. I thought it would be fun to take a look at that first episode which produced the first TV painting of his which sold for nearly $10 million dollars.

If you have ever had the itch to paint...this may nudge you to the art store to get a few supplies.
