My Mom is a Bob Ross teacher in Germany. She is 73, and her classes are always booked out. 30 years ago she fell in love with Bob Ross, when she saw me paint a painting in 30 minutes and she went to school and got Bob Ross certified, and she’s been painting and teaching ever since.😊😊😊

My son, 10, watches Bob Ross every night and has since he was two years old. He loves him and has his favorite episodes memorized. This man was truly a beautiful human being.

Bob Ross was the Mr. Rogers of the painting world!!!😊❤ RIP Bob!🙏

Greed…….the Kowalski’s robbed one of America’s most adored artists and TV personalities. They were literal parasites during his life and vultures after his death, picking away at Bob until there was nothing left for his sons. To Steve….the Kowalski’s didn’t take your talent, your father’s legacy is one of compassion and charity. He reached those of us who were depressed and self isolated. He helped countless people around the world.

Very true. I suffered a back in in 1991, I couldn’t work anymore . I caught one of Bob’s shows one day and was immediately hooked. My husband was very concerned about me, after having eleven back surgeries my depression had gotten so bad that my husband was very concerned about me. I am so grateful, my style of painting was built on happy accidents, and it showed! Unfortunately I wasn’t able to paint well, I found just watching helped me to heal. The kowalski’s will get what they deserve, they will have to pay in the end. You can’t go through life hurting people and expect to be happy. It sounds as if there was more than enough money to go around, had they done the right thing they probably would’ve been blessed with even more success. Thank for everything Bob, RIP.♥️🙏🏻

I loved watching his shows growing up. I didn’t even know why I liked it. I was young. I guess it was the soothing. He was such a good storyteller. I remember him saying happy trees, the happy clouds while he was painting.

You can't trust some business partners. I found that out the hard way. Enjoyed this video; I used to watch Bob on tv here in the UK. A Great man.

How tragic and horrible. I loved that man. I watched almost every single show, and loved it, sometimes painting along. I so loved it when he produced the squirrel. Goen but never forgotten Bob.....RIP

Loved watching him do his paintings going from just a plain piece of paper to a beautiful picture of mountains, trees, brooks, buildings , clouds to cloudless skies, everything he did, a very ingenious man showing his intelligence through his paintings. That's what artists are good at as they see life through a different perspective than what everybody else sees life through. Bob Ross is a very good man.

Bob Ross was bad ass, truly an American Icon!

I love Bob Ross’s paintings once in a while when I’m channel surfing I will come across him and I just have to watch him. He’s mesmerizing. I’m so sorry to hear about all the problems. He had is a lot of greedy people out there.

What they did to Bob and his boys is reprehensible!

The Kowalskis sound like really evil people. I hope Bob's boys are doing well.

My favorite thing to watch as a child was Bob Ross's shows. I could already paint. Before seeing his show. His show gave me extra teachings that I may never have known without his show. I missed his show for years. I still do.

Bob Ross is more famous now then he was back then. As a painting enthusiast I loved watching him but others would make fun of him. I had one of his painting kits even. Sad his life was taken so soon. As for the Kowalskis goes to show how much money means in this world. I have always said money is evil. They themselves looked like they were on their deathbed but yet, money was that important to them to not care about him. Never understand where people think money will go when they die. This couple was way up there in their years. Probably didn't even get to enjoy after what they did to be so evil. 😞

I was always surprised of the size of the brushes he uses. Some are the size you'd paint a house with .. He'd push the brissels to the canvas and make amazing trees and clouds and rocks. He seemed to do it effortlessly.( I've never painted anything so when i see him paint it looks like magic happening).
