I was messing around on Microsoft paint and was thinking of how awesome it was to watch Bob Ross when I was growing up. I was always fond of how he would positively personify just about everything. Plus I thought it was cool that he had a squirrel for a pet! Bob Ross trivia below!

Bob Ross Fun Fact #2: Bob Ross ended up painting over 30,000 painting in his lifetime! Normally he would paint three copies of each painting per episode. One for reference before the show, one during, and one after that they photographed step-by-step for his How-to books.
