Where Are All the Bob Ross Paintings? We Found Them.
Bob Ross painted more than 1,000 landscapes for his television show — so why are they so hard to find? We solve one of the internet’s favorite little mysteries.
By Larry Buchanan, Aaron Byrd, Alicia DeSantis and Emily Rhyne (The New York Times)

For his television show, Bob Ross painted more than 1,000 landscapes, chockablock with happy trees and mountains. But try as you might, you can’t find them for sale — not at auctions, not in galleries, not online. So where are they? The Times set out to solve the mystery and — spoiler alert — they appear to be stacked in cardboard boxes in Herndon, Virginia, inside the nondescript offices of Bob Ross Inc.

| Good to know this as I still watch episodes of the show to this day. And a couple years ago I dressed up as Bob Ross for a party. |

I actually bought that Bob Ross Chia Pet as a gag gift for a friend of mine. I also have given her Bob Ross band aids and have Bob Ross playing cards and I'm looking to get my hands on a box of the Bob Ross cereal. |

I love watching episodes on Netflix.
Side note...if you are having trouble sleeping and need a soothing voice as noise (rather than just sound) in the background, Bob Ross's voice is incredible. Perfect balance of tone and tenor.
