Famous for being able to complete a painting in under an hour, iconic artist Bob Ross fascinated audiences with his “wet on wet” technique for several years. Thanks to his charming personality, unique hairdo, and lighthearted sense of humor, he quickly became a fan favorite, while teaching millions of people his method on PBS’ “The Joy of Painting”
Even after passing away from lymphoma, his fame never ceased and he even gained new fans on streaming video sites like Twitch and YouTube.
Yet, there seemed to be something off about Bob that was hard to explain, an unspoken tragedy that traces back to the early 1960s, when his journey started from the last place you'd expect, the United States Air Force.

Bob Ross, Jim Henson, Fred Rogers. People this world needs more of but sadly lack.

His son still did not get anything from his father's inheritance. The kowalskis got everything. They robbed Bob's family and continue to do so.
-
I loved Bob Ross. He is sorely missed. Shame on that wicked couple who used and abused him for their own greedy, selfish, financial gain. They owe him and his family tremendously!
-
I had no idea about the Kowalskis. But I can tell you this much now, I will NEVER again purchase another item that uses Bob Ross name. And as an Artist myself, I’ll be sure to pass the information in this video along. Their ill gotten gain won’t follow them to the judgement seat of God, but their evil deeds certainly will.

Despite the Kowalskis being blood-sucking, horrible human beings, I still watch Bob Ross because in this current world of doom and gloom, he truly does bring "Joy" to life, even decades after his passing. The Kowalskis can have the money; no one will remember them in the end.

My middle daughter, now 43, LOVED him: she can't paint a stroke or draw a straight line, but she would watch these shows for hours.

Watched Bob Ross as a child with my mother who loved to paint. Now, in 2023 my grandson and I watch. RIP Bob

We all know Bob Ross, we never knew the kowalskis, his name will live on forever, while those one people, sorry, forgot theirs names, will never matter. Rest In Painting Paradise to a great man. A legend.

Even though I never learned to paint, I grew up watching Bob Ross. His show was mesmerizing to me.
-
😢3 years ago, I did my first painting ever while watching one of his episodes. Everyone who has seen the painting says it’s a beautiful painting. I even shocked myself when it was finished. I had watched him paint on pbs over 30 years ago. I was 6. I didn’t think that I could paint something that good. Bob inspired me to try…Thanks Bob🫡 Blessings to Mr Robert Ross and his Family!

I’m 50 years old now I grew up watching Bob and I still watch his episodes today in 2024. I’ve lived in Alaska my whole life and will never leave. God bless you, Bob.

Bob had another mind and he's still teaching us today, Im one of his students in 2024
-
I love Bob Ross and enjoy his 30 minute painting shows. I find that painting relaxes me and takes my mind away from the pain of rheumatism. Shame on the people who took advantage of him and his family. I really enjoy his brushes and paints and find they are quite different than other options. I don’t like that others are profiting from it but it keeps his legacy alive. Rest in peace Bob. God bless.

Bob Ross was and will forever be the artist. All others are leaches. What belonged to Bob, belongs to his children.
-
Great artist loved his soft voice and gentle spirit as he painted
-
My dad loved him, so I loved him. Remember that little squirrel he kept in his pocket? My dad never missed an episode. He just always came across as a kind, gentle man. Those Kowalskis were evil 😈
