Bob Ross didn't paint to show off his skills. He painted to show you that you can.

It is sad, Bob Ross Inc. Is now own by Joan Kowalski the daughter Annette and Walt. While Steve Ross Bob's son and painter himself cannot even used his father's name without being sued.

The fact that the Kowalskis got away with what they did and the very person they were taking advantage of was Bob Ross of all people is absolutely horrendous. Zero shame whatsoever.

ALL Painting's, Right's etc should belong to his Kid's as he wanted, NOT those Thieves at Bob Ross Inc

Very similar to Gary Gygax, Co creator of Dungeons and Dragons. These men both made a big difference in my life. It saddeneds me greatly that greed took advantage of them.

I'm 61yrs old. I grew up watching Bob ROSS. Only 1 thing to say about Bob. TREES 🌳🌳🌳🌲🌲🌲

Steve deserves his father's legacy!

Truly a shame! Bob Ross is a legend his work should be on display for everyone to enjoy! Not for greedy people to profit on

We loved it when Bob Ross came on tv. My dad loved it when he would say happy little tree. Happy little cloud. He was fabulous.

His family was robbed of his legacy. So so sad.

Big fan of Bob Ross. I didn’t know until years later what happened to him and his family. He is still around by watching his painting shows over and over makes that true. ❤🙏

The family deserves all the rights to Bob Ross Inc an investigation should start with where are the remaining paintings

Greed can change good people to something so evil that they are unrecognizable. Nothing good comes from it!

Loved him. He was so talented! He was robbed.

It is a crying shame that greed for money would ruin a man’s iconic life. Damn shame……😢

I'd put money on th fact that lord himself came personally to collect Bob. Let the vultures take his material possessions. I still have his a piece of Mr. Ross in my heart.

He was my art mentor. Great, talented man.

❤Bob Ross is a Legend❤

Damn the Kowalskis! Bob waa the artist * creator of those wonderful paintings! Still miss him and his talent Thank you, Bob, uou will always be in our hearts.❤

I absolutely adored the man and his family. This greed has carma. I feel bad for the Ross family. Bob was very, very talented.

I used to love to watch him paint. He painted gorgeous pictures.

GREEDY SNAKES, I heard about this before, and this upsets me badly..I hope they got what was coming to them..GREED is Never Good..

His son is so hidden you can’t find any pictures of him now days or contact him online

Can't understand how an intelligent guy like Bob allowed his whole business to be taken out of his control. Those kowalski's are just 'leeches'!

Shocking. The Kowalskis are shameless.

How absolutely horrible! I had no idea. So very sad.

Awesome story. Beautiful paintings

I grew up with Bob Ross, always loved his work, and loved seeing his friends , so sad ,blessxhis family x

Thank you for this. Beautiful soul. His business partners are scum.

What a great man, we lost a true legend.

So the legend about all his paintings being in a warehouse might be true???

Rest in peace Bob

I so loved to listen to him.

In Bob I Trust

In addition to my comment, I’ll never purchase anymore Bob Ross materials or even watch the show. They deserve NOTHING!

My late cousin she was about in her 70's she watch this show. She start painting the lake with mountain. WOW she had sell her painting; my mom brought her painting to all of us. After I moved. She passed away. One of her children gave away to the cousin, like us, I moved to another place I dump my painting to not have on the wall. Right now this place is not allow to have a picture on the wall. This place have nothing on the wall.

Bob said and that's final no one has rights to change it! now that's what I call releasing stress. Gather fans and shout for the Ross Family!!!!!!! I want this to be settle right before I pass like Bob. 😔 👇

Talent is nothing more than a pursued interest - Bob Ross

Kowalkis are big thieves

Tragic and sad state of affairs for all. Should have never happened.

I loved all of Bob Ross paintings. Everyone has few skeletons in there past. I do not care about his. I only admire the man and his work. His legacy lives to me. The Kowalski’s can go pound sand. They were not the talent behind the scenes,only money grubbing creeps. Oh well, Bob Ross lives on, the Kowalski clan is hopefully all gone by now. Out of the business that is,not passed on. Paint on people !!!

no one is protected from vultures in life. They seem to come out of the woodwork for the al;mighty dollar. Very sad.

Kowalskis are greedy people turning on Bob Ross at his weakest, typical.

Look on the bright side Annette Kowalski gave half the paintings to the Smithsonian.

the Kowalski are really selfish and how dare the stepbrother signed the papers behind his back, maybe if he painted it could of help but then they might use him to make more paintings. This is really dark, screw the Kowalski!!!!!!🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬 they should be in jail forever I am not giving their child a chance, what they did was wrong and cruel to the fame of art through the centuries RIP Bob Ross, 😭.🥀

One thing is for sure he always knows how to beat the devil !

When buying art supplies, NEVER buy anything with the "Bob Ross" name. The profits only go to the evil Kowalskis. Bob's family gets nothing. His son cannot even use Bob's name

❤

Watch Bill Alexander instead, he is the original anyway.

I figured he was a bastard

He stole everything from his teacher, Bill Alexander; he should be looked down upon. He was even so mean, he put copyrights and trademarks on stuff so his teacher couldn't even use things he came up with. The wet-on-wet technique was Bill's...NOT Bob's. Sadly the fumes from making the magic white...gave all the artists cancer. His soothing voice was because he vowed he would never yell like his military people did. The saying 'happy little trees'...were from Bill Alexander. The guy was a thief. The show, 'The Joy of Painting' was AFTER he got trademarks and copyrights on things. He didn't ern anything...he stole them. I feel no sympathies for this 'thing' named Bob Ross at all. But the old saying 'what comes around goes around'...he died BEFORE Bill Alexander...so he didn't get to enjoy what he stole. Karma in its finest moments.
