bob ross quotes...because they're awesome

I love Bob Ross for what he represents. He isn't taken seriously by the "art world" but he believed that everyone could be an artist and enjoy fine landscape painting- which is amazing. I remember when my grandma used to paint with Bob Ross back in the day. It used to amaze me how real he made those trees look! Mostly, I just admire him for being such a happy little painter- and the fro does wonders for him.

These quotes are almost like little hiakus of knowledge. Sit back and read, and let the pearls of wisdom of Bob Ross wash over you...
