Description

More than 30 years after his death, the work of artist and public television icon Bob Ross continues to engage audiences across the world. When Congress rescinded $1.1 billion allocated for public broadcasting, Bob Ross Inc. saw an opportunity to help fill some of the funding shortfall by auctioning 30 of his paintings.
