Has it really been 30 yrs?!

[@TheAntiqBoutiq]

How terrible it is that the Kowalsky’s let greed enter into this man’s dying wish that’s his family be taken care of by his own hard work. There was enough for everyone. I’ll never buy another Bob Ross product (t-shirts etc) knowing it maybe enrich such greedy people even further.

I loved watching him paint, he was very talented.

So true! We love Bob.

[@Grandpa_Moses]

My favorite modern painter. Watched him in the 70's, he was brilliant. No offense to all you classically trained painters but anyone that can use a 4" and 6" house brush and produce what he did was amazing

[@RichardM1366]

Bob was a great man. He was a good teacher and his words of encouragement gave me the power to believe in myself. I studied this technique from Bill Alexander watching The Magic Of Oil Painting and of course The Joy Of Painting. I have paintings in Europe, Asia, and Australia. I enjoy sharing my art with people. That is the best way to see how special life is.

I really hate that Steve had to endure such greedy vultures 😢 he should rightfully own everything his father meant for him ... I'm a huge fan of Bob Ross and have painted many beautiful things following along with him. I credit him as the reason I picked up a paint brush again after 40' years..I wish Steve Justice and peace. ❤❤

[@fastchevlle]

I Loved watching Bob every Saturday and I am still amazed at his work and I am so happy that his son is still keeping his dad's Works going on..GOD bless him I do the same thing I lost my dad in 1998 and my dad and myself done a lot of things together I'm dad loved drag racing and he built a race car which we work on together and when I got old my dad give me the car we worked on together and I still have the same car and also I'm dad played music way before I was born and my dad and my mom were so happy and proud of us because I played drums and he played guitar and we played music together for many years. Now my parents are gone for many years now.and I am so proud that I got the chance to do the things my dad done before he passed away. I hope his son feels that same way.becauss we only get one dad and one mom. And when they pass away it's never going to be the same again..

The series is on Twitch with his family having approved sindication of it. I think it's done Fri-Sunday. It's on my fav list. Something about the way he spoke, his demenor, and painting is calming. I don't have creative talen but like many can appreciate what he did.

Such a gentle loving kind soul he is greatly missed. God wanted to take some art classes

[@MichaelEllison-jr4wg]

Bob Ross inspired me to paint as he made it look so easy. After several poor attempts I decided that his talent was not going to transfer to me, even though I purchased the Ross painting set and brushes, lol.... I get so sick and tired of hearing about legal battles surrounding the death of people. I have witnessed the greed and callousness first hand in dealing with the step family attempting to TAKE EVERYTHING and leaving the original blood relatives with nothing. So Disappointing to hear this is happening to the Ross Estate.

I have followed Bob Ross since he started on TV. And as calm as he was, there was more than meets the eye to all this. First off, the sayings Bob used. Why does this matter? Well as much as I liked him and still do today, there is a lot of things made to facade the whole thing. He took the show over from Bill Alexander, which was a very good painter, but from Germany and he had a sometimes-aggressive approach and a very thick German accent, which people sometimes didn't like. But you can find episodes of him on KZbin under Bill Alexander. If you watch a few, you will hear him say happy clouds, or other similar Ross sayings. In one episode, Bill gives Ross a brush, he was aware Ross was taking the show over, but become infuriated when he realized he was actually even taking his sayings, and made it sound as though he was the first to use wet on wet method of painting, which had been around for centuries. Bill felt Ross had betrayed him. Keep in mind, Bill Alexander shows were done before Ross was ever heard of. Another thing was his son. A lot of the publicity come from a documentary made from Netflix called Happy Accidents, Betrayal and Greed. It's believed Ross started painting as a passion, joining the same type of workshop he pushed where you learn, then teach. He met Mrs. Kowalski after she had lost a son, he taught her how to paint. It's crazy, because if you look at early paintings by Ross, they are very amateur. However, even on the Phil Donahue show he said it was not a fine art they were making, just a freedom and passion to be creative. They became friends, some even think it was more than that. However, the Kowalskis interest in Ross was mere business. They believed because of Rosses calm and patient demeanor he used to be exact opposite of a drill instructor many thought, he would be sought after to be a teacher, especially by women and kids. I read a long time ago, he even studied how to be like that, and the Kowalskis pushed different ideas to him on how to act, what to say, etc., which means Ross on the show was invented, or groomed to be like that. I have watched almost every episode several times, and he tried hard to push his son to take interest. He did not, and he is a very good painter himself at that method. I read unofficially way back that he was on drugs, and so what Ross did was left his shares to his brother, which had no care in any of it anyway. He did try to get Rosses son to take it all over, but he wouldn't stay straight, so he sold out to the Kowalskis, and they run it as it was to them from day one, a business. Once Rosses son got older and then wanted a share of everything, it was too late. Truth is, the Kowalskis were what built the empire, Ross was not a good businessman, probably would have never even been heard of if not for the Kowalskis. I do think he loved his son very much, and dying he knew it was never going to go to him, but it was his last attempt as a father to look out for him. People get mad and say it was Kawalski's greed and stole it from Rosses son, but it's not true. Had he stayed in the game and run the show as Ross wanted him to, he would have had it. Furthermore, what would he have done had he ever got it besides run it in the ground? Even if they wont let him use his father's name as a trademark, everybody will know who he is, If he was able to continue the legacy there is nothing stopping him. Perhaps he just wants the royalties and not the work, that's what I get out of it.....
