The Joy of Painting
The Joy of Painting was an American television show hosted by Bob Ross that taught viewers how to complete a painting of a landscape in thirty minutes. The show was broadcast on PBS and developed a cult following.
Each show began with Ross standing alone in a dark room in front a blank canvas. Over thirty minutes, Ross would turn the blank canvas into an imaginary landscape. His efforts were accompanied by a soothing monologue about the "happy clouds" and "happy trees" that he was creating with his brush.
Despite the death of Ross, the show continues to be broadcast and a multi-million dollar spin-off business bearing Ross' name sells art accessories related to the show.
