Bob Ross - Happy Little Candy

Bob Ross - Happy Little Candy

The absolute treasure of a human, Bob Ross, has taken the internet by storm in recent years, popping up everywhere from YouTube to TikTok. Though he passed away in 1995, the famous landscape painter has been impacting millions of lives posthumously. His amazing attitude of positivity (he makes “happy little accidents,” not mistakes!) is something that inspires many people all over the world every day, so it’s no wonder that he still continues to be an icon today. Let’s take a closer look at Bob to find out why he is still a prevalent figure in American pop culture decades after he became a part of it.

According to Encyclopaedia Britannica, Bob Ross (Full name Robert Norman Ross) was born in Daytona Bea ch, Florida in 1942. Bob is a Florida native, just like Bulk Candy Store! Bob got into painting while stationed in Alaska during his time in the US Air Force and became the student of painter Bill Alexander after retiring from the Air Force i n 1981. Alexander had his own PBS show, The Magic of Oil Painting (1974-1982), and this show was what inspired Bob to follow in his master’s footsteps. PBS premiered The Joy of Painting with host Bob Ross in 1983.

The Joy of Painting quickly became an American classic, showcasing Bob’s fantastic art skills, easygoing and tranquil nature, and positive attitude. In just 30 minutes an episode, Bob taught viewers how to make marvelous landscapes through paint. As a testament to his fame, the  Smithsonian even acquired some of his paintings in 2020.

Years later, Bob Ross has become one of the most iconic faces on the Internet. Younger generations (myself included) love Ross for the same reasons his original fanbase does: his radiating positivity, soothing calmness, and overall joy in a world that sometimes has none of that to offer. Fans of all ages can now express their love of Bob through some awesome merchandise like T-shirts, blankets, pillowcases, phone cases, and even...CANDY!
