Bob Ross' First On-Air Painting
On January 11, 1983, The Joy of Painting debuted. During the first episode, Bob Ross introduced aspiring artists to the joy of painting with a 30-minute tutorial on "A Walk in the Woods." It depicts a forest scene with a walking path and features the artist's signature all-mighty trees and a happy little path. Measuring 24" by 18", the piece the iconic artist created on air is now being sold by Minnesota gallery Modern Artifact. The historic painting comes with an eight-figure price tag but serious buyers can also make an offer.
