A Walk In The Woods, the first of more than 400 paintings Ross produced for his TV series The Joy Of Painting, will be sold by a Minneapolis gallery.
A painting by Bob Ross, the artist who brought painting to the people, with works completed for TV viewers in less than half an hour, is going up for sale for nearly 10 million dollars .
Growing up in a small town, Mr Nelson said he was introduced to art through Ross’s show and loves his paintings. He does not expect a quick sale given the high asking price, which he sees as an opportunity to display the painting for a larger audience. “We have avoided painting for so long because I think all of our lives we’ve been told that you have to go to school half your life, maybe even have to be blessed by Michelangelo at birth, to ever be able to paint a picture,” Ross said. “And here, we want to show you that that’s not true. That you can paint a picture.”
The first season of The Joy Of Painting was filmed in Falls Creek, Virginia, and the painting from Ross’s first show was sold months later to raise funds for the local PBS station.
