Reviews
"You probably remember him from his instructional TV shows, in which he patiently, soothingly demonstrated how to paint "happy little" clouds, trees, mountains and seascapes. Bob Ross: The Joy of Painting (Rizzoli/Universe) is a calming collection of some 300 pieces of the late artist's work, accompanied by his inspirational quotes-like 'Success with painting leads to success with many things.'
