From the linked article:
On this day in 1983, a soft-spoken Air Force veteran turned artist named Bob Ross stepped in front of the cameras for the first time on public television, inviting viewers into a world of “happy little trees” and boundless creativity. The premiere of The Joy of Painting marked the beginning of what would become one of the most beloved and enduring instructional programs in TV history, captivating audiences with its soothing pace and empowering message that anyone could create art. Forty-three years later, Ross’s legacy continues to inspire millions, from aspiring painters to those seeking a moment of calm in a chaotic world.
I still watch him on YouTube to wind down, and on special occasions bust out these socks Sadie got me:
Nothing more soothing than hearing him softly intone, "I will cut you."
