Bob Ross has had a massive following among several generations going back to those who were grew up as children watching PBS’ Zoom, Seseme Street, Electric Company, Mr. Rogers’ and the Saturday morning cartoons. His ‘legend’ has only grown among newer generations since his death in 1995. I was never pesonally a fan although I did admire his talent and artistic education style. His character and presentation style were as calming to the mind as was his artwork to the eye.
The fact that this guy now has his own silver coin simply promotes his ‘legendary’ status among the artful crowd. https://www.bobross.com/ look up ‘Bob Ross Fan Club’ to get an idea how popular this guy is.
It just occured to me that they oddly put a painters brush in his hand instead of a artists brush, thanks for pointing that out Kewl2.
Ha !
Many Years ago during a PM Bull …Gold was rising but Silver was just sitting there
It occurred to me that Silver had a mental problem .Remembering a Movie.. I coined the phrase “What About Bob ?”
in reference to Silver’s unpredictable manic depressive nature.
Bill Murray played Bob and Richard Dreyfuss played his Reluctant Psychiatrist
This coin has a guy who looks like Richard Dreyfuss
Has to be a Goldtent Reader
But who is Robert Norman Ross and what’s with the paint brush ?
Nice background info………
