Bob Ross
When I was a kid, I used to love watching The Joy of Painting.The Joy of Painting was hosted by Bob Ross and ran on PBS from 1983 to 1995. During each half-hour segment, Ross would instruct viewers in the art of oil painting by creating an entire landscape.
With a soothing voice, he would describe the subjects of his paintings in such terms as "happy little trees" and "pretty little mountains". He believed that everyone had inherent artistic talent and the potential of becoming an accomplished artist given time, practice, and encouragement.
Bob was fond of saying, "We don't make mistakes, we just have happy little accidents."

Ahhhh Bob Ross...waking up from a nap on a Saturday afternoon to hear his soothing voice and then watch him create a beautiful work of art, he made it seem so easy !!

Lazy Saturday afternoons are synonymous with PBS...
Along with Bob Ross I remember an older gentleman with gray hair with a similar show. I cannot remember his name though. He was also on PBS.
You can't talk about Bob Ross without using the word "soothing". He was great.
Ooooh, I remember him! He had the most pleasant voice!
