HAPPY by C.A. Sanders
from Bob Ross I always wanted to paint like Bob Ross. I used to watch his show, The Joy of Painting, every day after school. He fascinated me, and there was nothing more relaxing after a hard day at school than listening to his voice. It turned out that I had talent as a painter, and my favorite landscapes still decorate my apartment. Last month, The Joy of Painting came onto Netflix, and I got sucked in all over again. This time, I’m watching it as an adult, and I notice so much more than as a teen. Even though I chose writing as my constant for life and have been writing professionally for 16 years, there’s so much everyone can learn from Bob Ross and apply it to their field of choice.
