I thought everyone knew who Bob Ross was. My mom had no idea who he was, so apparently I was wrong. Bob Ross is an icon of the 80's and 90's PBS channel. He teaches oil painting. His white man 'fro is his trademark...along with his "happy trees." I first discovered him during a very long snow break from school when I was a kid and have loved him ever since. He has a soothing voice and I like to watch him paint in the same way that most people like to sit and watch cooking shows. I don't own a single oil paint or an easel and I've never painted a single happy tree. Still, I wanted to share the love with my little artist so Woody ordered me a DVD of Bob's from his Netflix account. Hope loves the "Painter Man" too. Only she wanted to paint along. So, out came the Neat Sheet and water colors.

| Mixing her colors. (I REALLY don't like the water colors to mix, but I bit my lip and let her work.) |
 |
| Hard at work. |
 |
| And last...the happy trees. Ahh, the "Joy of Painting!" |
