'Happy little clouds,' 'happy little trees,' 'happy little leaves.' More than two decades after his death in 1995, the work of the late American painter and beloved TV host Bob Ross is finally being exhibited — outside his own gallery — in a solo show.
Ross almost never painted people. Even when he painted winter cabins, he never painted smoke coming from the chimney, indicating they were empty.Ross made three nearly identical paintings for each episode: One before taping the show, as a reference, one during the half-hour show, in real time, and one after the show, which he spent up to two hours on, to be photographed for the instructional books that he put out with each season of the show.
"Let your imagination take you to worlds that only exist in your mind. No bad stuff here. That's why we have happy little trees. Everything's happy here," said Ross during one of his shows."We have over a thousand paintings," said Joan Kowalski in a phone interview."We don't have them all because Bob was very generous and donated some to friends and people that would come to visit him in the studio.
The Smithsonian has not yet exhibited the items -- although Kowalski is hopeful it will -- but the exchange planted the seed for an exhibition of Ross' artworks. The curator of the exhibit at the Franklin Park Arts Center, Elizabeth Bracey, is a friend of Kowalski and the venue is just 30 miles from the Bob Ross, Inc. offices.
