Bob Ross: The Joy of Painting

You've seen him before. He's the soft spoken guy painting happy clouds, mountains and trees in about twenty-six television minutes, using big house painting-type brushes and cooing soothing "you can do its" to the audience. His Joy of Painting program is the most recognized, most watched TV art show in history.
