A Rainbow Valley for Bob Ross

Wallpaper Description:

When I saw my first Bob Ross “Joy of Painting” show, I was fascinated. I found out when they aired and tuned in without fail every week. I started doing some drawing and painting because of his program. I loved the way that he'd introduce baby squirrels and other animals on his show sometimes, because I love animals too. I began thinking about getting in touch with him.

It was a sad day for me when I realized that I would never get a chance to meet him in person. He passed away from cancer in July of 1995. I found out about him 7 years too late.

I agree with so many of the things that he said on his shows. Every tree should have a friend! Many mistakes do turn out to be “happy accidents.” And you can definitely create your own little world whenever you do an art project. I have found this to be especially true with computer graphic art.

When I made this Abstract Valley design, I thought that this would be a neat wallpaper to live in. But after I added plenty of drinking water to it, (all of the blue hues of course! ) I felt like it still needed something. I put in a rainbow-- and then I knew that the valley needed one more thing to make it complete. So I added a little cabin for Bob near the bottom of the wallpaper.

PS. If you are having trouble seeing the cabin, enlarge the wallpaper. It is almost in the middle of the wallpaper, at the very bottom of the wall.
