  • Watching Bob Ross when I am anxious

    I love watching Bob Ross and would love to take a class, I love helping people and he paints a wonderful landscape. I feel my anxiety but when I turn on Bob Ross on my Tv or my tablet. I feel that I will have a great day. Like “Bob Ross says We don’t make mistakes. In my World we make happy accidents”

    Bob Ross is my favorite Artist. He makes me feel calm like any body would say watching Bob Ross makes me unwind.😊

    God creation is gorgeous and we follow God’s example not the world we live in.
