RIP Bob Ross

RIP Bob Ross

I was not blogging when Bob Ross passed.  But I was a fan. Google is noting Bob Ross' 70th birthday. I know art critics have a dim view of his work, but the man had a joy in painting that was infectious. I loved his show. Ross was a retired Air Force veteran and had an interesting life. We lost him too soon.  RIP Bob.
