Looking for original Bob Ross Paintings?
Bob Ross paintings have been discovered in a Warehouse in Virginia!
Did you know that Bob Ross painted over 30,000 paintings in his lifetime? However, if you want to buy a Bob Ross (authentic) painting, you can’t. A lot of people have tried. And many of these original paintings have been safely tucked away in boxes, unknown to most.
So many paintings inspired by Bob Ross – however no originals to be purchased are found.
An adventure by Aaron Byrd trying to buy an original Bob Ross painting led to a discovery. He tired auctions, galleries and online searches to no avail.
His quest led him on a road trip to the company headquarters in Herndon, Virginia. Almost every painting created by Bob Ross are numerically stacked in cardboard boxes; over 1,000 landscapes, snow-capped peaks and happy little trees, all in a warehouse.
At this time none of Bob Ross paintings are for sale.
The video below tells the entire story.
Did you know Bob completed each painting 3 times? One before the show, one during the show and one after.
The Joy of Painting
Bob told the Orlando Sentinel in 1990: “The majority of our audience does not paint, has no desire to paint, will never paint.” Instead, the show’s appeal is more abstract. It’s less about the art lesson, and more about the mood: cozy, nurturing — an audio-visual pat on the back, coaxing the audience to try something new. For 22 minutes, at least, there’s no fear of failure. As Ross used to say, “We don’t make mistakes, we just have happy accidents.”
Everyone can paint!
According to Bob Ross.
All you need is a dream in your heart, and a little practice.
It’s a shame that none of Bob Ross’s paintings are available for the world to enjoy! Just because two greedy idiot’s wanted nothing more than to make money off him.
Agreed. This family used him and cheated his family. Bob would be sad his paintings are sitting in boxes, I bet.
