Bob Ross's Son Finally Confirms What We All Expected...

Bob Ross's Son Finally Confirms What We All Expected...
While we all admired Bob Ross for his ability to create stunning artwork in just two days and his soothing voice that could calm even the most restless souls, there's a side to him that remained hidden from the public eye until now.
Behind the serene facade of 'The Joy of Painting', Bob Ross battled with personal tragedies that left a lasting impact on his life. In this video, we uncover the untold struggles of Bob Ross, from his peaceful episodes to the private battles he faced. Join us as we explore the life of the beloved painter and discover the heartbreaking truth that has been hidden for so long.

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

[@kingkongkungkwang]

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

[@biggeesmalls1]

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.

[@MysticKohii]

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.

[@nancyfleming2549]

I grew up watching Bob and my daughter loves the reruns. When she learned that he is buried 3 miles from our home she wanted to pay her respects by painting a small,picture and leaving it on his grave. We visit him at least twice a month as it’s very peaceful to sit there and feel his presence.

[@darktower0603]

I just Googled Steve Ross and back in 2013 he started running painting workshops again in Indiana and Illinois and it's been very successful. I'm glad Steve is doing well. He deserves it.

[@keithg1xfl]

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

[@HaileySanders-nu4ze]

Bob Ross is the reason why i started drawing and creating, he inspired my mom, and my grandfather. Its crazy how much one person can change the world

[@kkkeller1511]

Steve deserves his father's legacy!

[@staceygrimes4107]

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

[@tinachen9728]

This is why copy rights were invented to prevent greedy people from using your art and name.

[@IGathron]

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.

[@LoriWolfcat]

I’m glad you highlighted the demons, the Kowalski’s. I really hope one day, Steve would be able to take back the Bob Ross name. I only support the TRUE legacy of Bob Ross. I wish there was a way for the Bob Ross audience to help Steve because he really deserves it.

[@melvinthomas6383]

I still watch Bob almost nightly to fall asleep right here on YT. I would like to meet a Kolwaski in a dark alley.

[@williamcooper2368]

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

[@Amenhir1]

My mother was a huge fan of Mr. Ross and painted some beautiful landscapes using the skills she learned from watching his show. Everyone in the family got some of her paintings when she passed away. Thank you Mr. Ross for giving my mother the joy of painting and giving me some fond memories.

[@stickyartshorts]

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

[@ChristineDuval-cy5ck]

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.

[@nisar8009]

My grandmother was an oil painter that did well selling her art. My grandfather absolutely loved watching Bob Ross. I guess grandma wouldn’t let him watch her paint. 😄

[@fredadams9247]

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

[@joburrows9210]

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.❤

[@HBProductions.]

Everyone who loves/supports Bob Ross and what he did for us all should come together to make the Kowalski business go under. Don't buy anything from them. Let them tank into bankruptcy. Once they no longer own it, it can be rebuilt into what it should be: a family business/enterprise for the Ross's.

[@teishahowlett6342]

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..

[@bethyg2748]

The Kowalskis have no right to steal away the Ross legacy from the family that rightfully deserves it. I mean, they ignored the wishes of the late Bob Ross and completely ignored the fact that Bob didn't leave his legacy to the, he left it to his family!

[@denen404]

Im of the generation that barely got to experience bob ross's painting....I don't even enjoy watching painting....I could watch every video of him painting ever made and never be bored....the man had a way to draw you in

[@barrysmith8186]

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

[@BaseDeltaZero1972]

Bob Ross went global for a damn good reason...people liked him, they enjoyed watching him and listening to him talk, watching him paint and just being one of the most amiable and genuinely nice guys on TV. This man was known, loved and respected by people from all around the globe. I would also bet that 99% of his viewers never picked up a paint brush in their lives, it wasn't about the beautiful paintings he produced every episode, it was about sitting down with Bob for half an hour or so and just relaxing in good company. His stuff is still shown on UK TV to this day. The man is a legend. His family were robbed by soul sucking corporations.

[@user-pw8tm5nx9i]

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. ❤🙏

[@joshportal2808]

The main reason you don’t see a Bob Ross original painting in public or a museum is because a specific Shelf Company keeps buying them. The main belief is that the Kolwaski’s own this company in the attempt to own all of Bob Ross’ works. There is no public information stating if this is true or not.

[@fwdcnorac8574]

I used to watch this guy pretty regularly as a kid. I didn't know it then, but it was incredibly meditative for me. I'd get all kinds of overstimulated/revved up after a couple of hours of Atari or playing outside(read Bloodsport) with the guys. Then I would eat with the family, do my homework, and watch The Joy of Painting. Dude was a legend.

[@dorothyyoung5067]

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

[@ChesterCopperpot82]

After watching this, I'd like to think Bob Ross is in heaven painting happy trees while the Kowalskis are much more south, painting fire & brimstone with their evil blood from their burnt charred bodies.

[@smallmeadow1]

Shocking. The Kowalskis are shameless.

[@jessyacevedo102]

I believe there’s something we as a people need to do for our best friend Mr.Ross. He will not be able to rest in piece until we disconnect the clutches of evil from his angelic work

[@dianem3812]

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

[@TheVocalTune]

Back then right after Sesame Street I would continue to watch this guy and it was bliss.

[@NPassosiation]

I don't paint and i enjoy watching him paint from time to time. heck, his voice has such a therapeutic effect that when I'm restless and having difficulty sleeping, i often put one episode and just listen to it while trying to sleep. Every time i do, i start picturing the painting in my mind as i fall asleep.

[@BTS_FANGIRL_4Eva]

I love the episode with the little squirrel he had in his shirt pocket. I was 9 years old when the first episode of Joy of Painting was first aired back in 1983.

[@robindong3802]

He was my art mentor. Great, talented man.

[@johnstamps7044]

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

[@Raven9010th]

The Kowalskis betrayed Bob. Their shameless greed should be punished. They may just as well have robbed his grave.

[@Get_Memed_Boi]

#JusticeForBobRoss

[@jbyrne4531]

A classmate who attended college with me once attempted to host a Bob Ross themed paint night at a small local art studio she worked in. Within a few days of the posting going up, she got served a cease and desist order from the conservators of the Ross Estate. After reading further into the terrible situation with how things turned out after Bob’s passing, it kind of didn’t surprise me so much then as it did when she first told me. He must be rolling in the grave to see how his life’s work have been so successful and influential, yet so much legal and financial turmoil from the Kowalski’s administration.

[@lucilledaub5991]

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

[@jetman80pops]

The fact the Kowalski's put Bob's face on so much shit that Bob himself wouldn't have.

[@terencebennison6275]

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'!

[@BB.-.]

❤Bob Ross is a Legend❤

[@faithbrown8739]

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

[@mandyclark7676]

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

[@tapinewoods3937]

What a great man, we lost a true legend.

[@liandoaethend2403]

He showed people kindness and in return they gave him evil (Kowalskis')

[@iMatchEnergyLikeABoss]

I was a child in the 80s and Bob taught me how to paint. I’m forever grateful for his passion to help others love painting as much as he did.

[@crissyblueyes09]

I had no idea! I’ll never buy any of the Bob Ross painting products again as long as they are in control.

[@angeleyes5362]

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

[@jacobb8531]

I grew up watching the reruns on British television back in 2008-12 When I used to stay at my grandparents house on the weekends. Other than cooking with my nana or making and painting models with my grandad, It was always really nice watching Bob Ross paint in the evening. Bob ross Has been such an influence on my life that I took up art form a young age and although I peruse it more like a hobby now when I was younger I dreamt nothing more than to be a successful painter like Bob. It's a shame he died before I was even born, I would have loved to have met him.

[@mrcloudychickensaurus-9795]

Man, I wish my dad could watch this video. He definitely would have loved this. I grew up watching Bob Ross because of my dad, he bought video tapes of his works and almost everyday his tape is playing on our VHS player. I guess I can still share this video to my mom and brothers. Regardless, thank you for this video.

[@taz275]

The fact you can own someone elses likeness is screwed up to begin with

[@andrearenee7845]

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

[@kamicokrolock]

A an oil painter I always have people ask me how I got started and if they could eventually learn to paint like me where I went to school, etc. I always surprise them by telling them that my first painting instructor was Bob Ross. I grew up watching him and he was my inspiration to put paint on canvas. And then I share with them this quote from Bob "Talent is a pursued interest. In other words, anything you are willing to practice, you can do."

[@user-xm2mn9ek9c]

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. 😔 👇

[@clintongee1417]

Awesome story. Beautiful paintings

[@petroshingalana8556]

Good news to hear that its going well with Steve, I hope he will take his stand and do some paintings on UTUPE ❤ we will love ❤️ 😍 that

[@dbrite3626]

Such a sad ending how can they sleep at night knowing they took everything from his family, They will pay in the after life for their sins.

[@HeyhiitsLiv]

it's so disgusting how these evil people profited off of this brilliant and talented man. maybe bob's son can start his own channel and continue his dad's legacy. it's really sad that all of his paintings cant even be given to his family. the Kowalski's took his name and legacy and tarnished it. As an artist myself this breaks my heart.

[@KristopherLobb-pj6qy]

Wonder if the actions of the Kowalskis and how they treated Bob Ross and his family caused any kind of backlash and bad publicity that hurt the reputation of the company they so greedily took without giving a share to his family causing people to go to the competition for their art supplies?

[@cheryladelmeyer8172]

Rest in peace Bob

[@eddiemonica3587]

I'm happy I just saw this because I was going to buy the paint kit today! But now I will not. I'll buy all the stuff individually and not from these 2 greedy vultures..

[@faithbrown8739]

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

[@drumhouse3]

the Kowalskis are nothing but greedy people. So shameful what they did to Bob's family. They'll pay in the end. God handles people like that

[@edisonuy7707]

There is a special place in Hell for the Kowalskis.

[@inspector_beyond]

Now I hope for Kowalski family to never have a happy remaining life. Bob Ross legacy MUST belong to Ross family alone, to those that he had in his will, not some money hungry raisins. Bob Ross promoted kindness and compassion. But people like the Kowalski family don't deserve it. Whatever happens next, I hope Ross family will take Bob's legacy back, leaving Kowalskis with nothing.

[@bettfon3541]

We all, the World, lost Master Bob...I don't care about anything else after that. I am sad and angry because He had problems when alive and can't be conforted now ..😢

[@unrussleablejimmies4428]

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.

[@Craxin01]

Greed destroys everything.

[@marybass3401]

The rights of Bob Ross should go to his family not some greedy people who just wants money.

[@cornilious4591]

In one of the episodes I remember him saying that painting is supposed to be easy and calm when he painted the leaves on the trees, he then said something like "i was in the army and it was not peaceful or calm"

[@CapsizedCloud]

The Kowalskis are cold-hearted people.

[@2148aa]

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

[@lazaraferrer9013]

I remember watching him with my uncle as a kid (single digits) we never missed an episode. Then my uncle started to paint and still paints today. I have a few paintings and every time I look at them I obviously see my uncles hand but I can also see Bobs ❤️

[@jeremyfiori3627]

In Bob I Trust

[@SpecialNeedsChamp999]

Bob Ross kind of went through rough times, he was in the army and vowed to never yell again, and he was always a calm person and it clearly shows, and another thing that happened to him was so very wrong, because the people that produced the show with him took his money, and lastly the other sad part is he had to keep his hair, he couldn't shave or cut it off because it would ruin the brand. 😢

[@juliecameronandrews9837]

I think the greedy Kowalskis are disgusting.

[@DROPSHIPCAPTAIN]

We need MORE people like this.

[@mariegarvey4234]

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 !!!

[@DUSKvsDAWN]

Long story short: the Kowalski's are assholes. Poor Steve.

[@user-ge7my1mw9m]

I love bob Ross he was so caring and such a lovely human being he loved to paint and he loved to teach other people how to paint and he was very good . I felt so sorry for what he went through and my heart goes out to Steve as well which he should of gotten what he deserves his dad's title ❤❤😢

[@audiemuniz6445]

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

[@toxicronin]

Kowalkis are big thieves

[@danielgessel9185]

I used to watch his show all the time when i was younger. I myself have a passion for drawing and took inspiration from Bob. I have a bigger passion for wildlife and nature though so i combine them. What i draw the most are animals and second most is landscapes.

[@user-xm2mn9ek9c]

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, 😭.🥀

I so loved to listen to him.
