Very interesting but odd that they never considered selling any of his paintings.
A little more info on his wiki page:

Maybe it was because the way in which the paintings were done? On a tv show, whipped together and seeya next week, in a rather “journeyman” manner.
The thing about Bob Ross is that HE was the art.

I still stop and watch a few minutes of his program, whenever I'm channel surfing, and happen to notice he's on PBS...
While I can't paint a straight line (with a ruler), I've always enjoyed his soothing voice, and patient and kind demeanor, as he whipped out a lovely landscape on TV.
