The Joy of Painting
I have been a huge fan of Bob Ross for many years. I am still contemplating buying some paints and brushes and taking a stab at painting in the Bob Ross method. There is a Bob Ross painting up for auction from his very first season of "The Joy of Painting" The estimated sale price at auction........9,850,000 dollars. Bob Ross nailed it when he said he never made mistakes and only had happy accidents. I don't believe that sale price would have impressed him one bit. He would have been more concerned about his friends that lived in his back yard. My favorite was pea pod the pocket squirrel.
I use to be a people person until people ruined that for me.

hint: buy canvas that has already been painted, if you are going the acrylic or oil route. Thrift stores are great for them.
You can get a 3' by 5' canvas, often time with nice matte and frames, with glass, for about $3-4 bucks. Same sized canvas cost's $40 plus.
and you gottat PRIME anything with gesso. (essentially paint and elmers glue and corn starch )
Bob Ross is a gem. Learning "art", and negative space, light, compostition, perspective, etc. translates to so much in life.
Don't wait, buy a paint and brush set TODAY.
Been doing a series of lacrosse art, which, strangley, there isn't a ton of. Actually, hardly any at all. Forget his name, but he had done those nice pen and ink, with water color highlights, for years. Almost done with the BC womens goalie acrylic to where I like it.
Time to watch a session of Boho yoga, literally one of the most attractive woman on the planet. Watching her do the frog is one of the most wonderful things I have ever seen on the internet.

Go for it C&S! One of my closest friends, a very talented graphic designer working in NYC for many years, just retired and is renting studio space to draw and paint. In a figurative sense he's taken a sledgehammer to his computer and is now doing what he's wanted to for years.

For some inspiration: https://www.facebook.com/PaintingSkillsKA
I have been telling myself this for about 5-6 years, craddle. As a kid I did in 3rd or 4th grade a did a mosaic, of a fruit basket, won the school art project and was able to go have it put on display at the Corcoran Gallery in DC. If I can find it I'll post it here.
I keep waffling between that and leathering.
Back to Bob Ross, I was sad to learn this recent AI Painting Journey was a fake. The claim, was Bob was actually painting a journey through the forest. https://knowyourmeme.com/news/people-cl ... -are-lying
If you send me your address, I'll be more than happy to send you a starter kit. Looking forward to hearing more about it.

Re: The Joy of Painting
Great comments from all of you. All of my painting experience involved interior and exterior house painting. I have zero artistic ability at all outside of my woodworking projects. I always liked Bobs attitude that anyone can learn to paint. I will give it a go in the near future. Oil paints with of course odorless paint thinner to clean the brush and beat the devil out of it. My wife thinks I'm crazy because at 5am when Roxy wakes me up I'm always watching the joy of painting. It never gets old for me.

Any guesses as to who that might be?

I enjoyed a novel based on an imaginary back-story for the painting.

The book was great. I also saw the film. Scarlet Johansson was good as was the actress that played Vermeer’s wife.44WeWantMore wrote: ↑Wed Sep 20, 2023 7:14 amI enjoyed a novel based on an imaginary back-story for the painting.

Re: The Joy of Painting
Those are really nice pieces. Who is the artist?
Perhaps they were inspired by this early de Kooning...

Re: The Joy of Painting
My best friend’s dad was the artist. He passed away in 2019 and his son passed away in 2021. He was probably more of a disciple of Degas, Vermeer and Picasso though he referenced Pollock and de Kooning as well….. here is another example. I don’t own this one…
My painting was his first in this style. Started it in early 80’s and kept evolving. I think he gave it to me in ‘88.

Completely different style that I like. Cubism. Found it maybe 20 years ago.
