Yes he was quite a guy. The only thing that seemed to make him unhappy was his hair. As a starving artist he got it permed to save money. When he became a recognized public figure people identified him with the hair and he was stuck with it.

I don't remember if I mentioned it before but I have half a dozen unsigned paintings, 9" x 18", on cheap gray shirt cardboard, in the Bob Ross style. My family bought them for $5 each, from a guy outside the Piggy Wiggly in Anchorage, AK, during the early '50s. Bob Ross was stationed at Elmendorf AFB in Anchorage at that time. Makes me wonder if it was him or the guy who taught him the style?
