Happy Little Accidents: The Wit & Wisdom of Bob Ross

As a kid who grew up in a household that didn't have cable/satellite tv often there were times where I'd be stuck watching Bob Ross on rainy or lazy days. I say "stuck" as if it's a negative thing but it really isn't because I grew up watching his stuff and was always impressed with how easily his brush strokes could create whole environments from splotches of paint. Well a friend of mine is also a huge fan of Bob Ross even on the hunt for the Funko POP figure they made of him. Her birthday was coming up and I decided this would be one of two gifts I'd give her both because she loved his paintings and also his little tidbits of wisdom he would throw out there while in the midst of painting his works. That's basically what this book is, a small collection of his works and his words side by side from page to page and it's really well put together and the passages of his comments chosen are very heartfelt and inspiring even if you aren't a fan.

Very cute little book. Full color with lots of little quotes. This is a gift for my daughter, we both love Bob Ross. I can’t wait for her to see it.

I've purchased 4 of these already and will most likely buy more. As a Bob Ross enthusiast, (I've watched hundreds of episodes and gotten "into him" very heavily over the last 7 years), my favorite thing about him were his quotes. This book contains a good mixture, of what I consider 3 categories of quotes - 1. about color / painting 2. deep life wisdom / thoughts and 3. totally random / funny. I wish there were more of the random / funny like one of my all time favorites - "There's nothing wrong with having a tree for a friend." But ultimately this a one of my favorite Amazon discoveries / purchases ever.

A very quick read. It's more a picture book and then on the other page it has a quote from him and his shows. From smack the devil out of the paintbrush to happy little trees, all your favorite sayings are in this book. There are some very breathtaking paintings of his as well, and some of them play directly off of the quote that is provided.I would highly suggest this book to any Bob Ross fan, as it would make a great coffee table book, or even to use it as a quote a day and just leave the book open to that day's page and quoteThe book is a little bit small about 6x4 inches, but still I'd say it's worth it.

I purchased this for a Bob Ross fan. She loves it, and all his familiar sayings. It’s well constructed and a great size. I would recommend.

Good book.

This is such an inspiring book. It gives you some detail on Bob Ross. From his childhood to his time in the military, and then his transition into being an amazing artist. The quotes were directly taken out of the show The Joy of Painting. Which i loved and appreciated every single one.If you’re having a bad day or just looking for a nice “ pick me up” or happy book this is it.

I got this for a friend for Christmas and made sure I read it myself beforehand. There's a nice short biography of Bob Ross at the beginning, which I quite enjoyed. The sayings themselves are all on painted backdrops and they were wonderful. This makes a great gift or a nice quick, uplifting read.
