The Bob Ross Empire

Robert Norman "Bob" Ross (October 29, 1942 – July 4, 1995) was an American painter, art instructor, and television host. He was best known as the creator and host of The Joy of Painting, an instructional television program that aired from 1983 to 1994 on PBS in the United States, and also aired in Canada, Latin America and Europe.

Ross was born in Daytona Beach, Florida, and raised in Orlando, Florida.[1] He had a half-brother, Jim, whom he mentioned in passing on his show.[2] While working as a carpenter with his father, Ross lost part of his left index finger, but it did not affect the way he held his palette while painting.
