In 2006, I became fascinated by Bob Ross and his wet on wet oil painting technique. And his intensely hypnotic deliveries and demonstrations, to be sure.

I tried this for myself and it was really quite wonderful on many different levels; I learned a lot about many, many things in the process and when it was done, painted a portrait of Bob Ross as a personal Thank You from me.

I've never painted a portrait before, never mind in oils, or even drawn pictures of people's faces; that wasn't my thing. Still, did the best I could and god bless, Bob, it's from the heart. xxx
