Does anyone remember this guy?

Had a little painting show on Public TV where he would create works of art in 30 minutes. If you remember, he had "happy little trees, happy clouds, there are no mistakes, just happy accidents, and rocks that needed friends". He is/was a white guy with a Tito Jackson style afro and a very mellow, soothing voice. Watching him on Sunday mornings was one of my college hangover cures.

Anyone know if he is still broadcasted anywhere? I miss that dude.:(

I remember Bob Ross. He struck me as a bit strung out the first time I saw him. But then he created some nice artwork, and I just decided it takes all kinds.
 
as I recall he is dead..........but every once in a while his show turns up on WNED channel 17 (UHF) in Buffalo.
 
He was excellent to watch on a Sunday afternoon,after just smoking a doob...
I would become drawn in to his flowery speech.."This treee here looks like it wants a partner, and oh, look, there it is.."
You know that man had to be hitting the baggie.
 
I loves me my Bob Ross. He made something like two dozen seasons of PBS shows and you can download several of the seasons from isohunt if you're so inclined. I have his three hour workshop on DVD and watch it every now and then. I'm hoping to watch it on some mescaline in a week or two.
 
There are a couple of different painting shows on PBS, I doubt they are the same one as you speak of but perhaps someone is carrying on..

I know the PBS spokane has one every day at 4pm, my quilting show is on right after lol.
 
I don't think his painting instruction was all that great, but as a calm therapeutic sort of talker he was quite good.
