Sleeping With Bob Ross

I discovered Bob Ross on Netflix and I was so excited to get my first "Joy of Painting" dvd. I would have been more excited had it been available instantly but that's my generation speaking. I'll take what I can get when it comes to watching Bob Ross and I'll tell you why. The first thing that he told me to do, before anything else, was go get myself a tall glass of ice tea. So I did. If you've never watched Bob Ross then you are definitely missing out. He's an awesome painter but I think you'll find that most people accredit him to being an incredibly mellow, seemingly wise, and easy-going guy. It is impossible not to relax, at least a little, when watching or listening to Bob Ross. I found that putting on an episode of "Joy of Painting" right before bed soothes away stress and eases my mind into sleep. Between the sound of his voice and the brush strokes on the canvas it's hard to think of anything else besides what he's painting and hopefully you can find yourself amongst the happy little trees and happy little squirrels in your dreams.
