Bob Ross Quotes

I found a list of these, and I do so enjoy Bob Ross, and all that he stood for. As an artist sure his work wasn't anything spectacular, but he was as kind hearted and good natured as you could hope any person could be. And you all know that deep down, you want to live in one of his landscapes.

"In painting, you have unlimited power. You have the ability to move mountains. You can bend rivers. But when I get home, the only thing I have power over, is the garbage"


"And that makes it look like birch trees, isn't that sneaky? It's
gorgeous."

"You know me, I gotta put in a big tree"


"Gotta give him a friend. Like I always say 'everyone needs a friend'."


"Let's just blend this little rascal here, ha! Happy as we can be."


"Clouds are very, very free"


"Tender as a mothers love...and with my mother that was certainly true"


"Little raccoons and old possums 'n' stuff all live up in here. They've got to have a little place to sit"


"Maybe in our world there lives a happy little tree over there"


"People look at me like I'm a little strange when I go around talking to squirrels and rabbits and stuff. That's ok. That's just ok."


"People might look at you a bit funny, but it's okay. Artists are allowed to be a bit different."


"That's where the crows will sit. But we'll have to put an elevator to put them up there because they can't fly, but they don't know that so they still try"


"We don't make mistakes, we just have happy accidents"


"We tell people sometimes: we're like drug dealers, come into town and get everybody absolutely addicted to painting. It doesn't take much to get you addicted."


"We're gonna make some big decisions in our little world."


"You can do
anything you want to do. This is your world."

"Even if you've never painted before, this one you can do."
