Well it has been quite some time since I have posted (anything about my Bob Ross Project that is) until recently I became inspired to get back to some starting point. Toward that end, yesterday I watched 5 episodes of The Joy of Painting with Bob Ross (recorded from Saturday morning TV) to find that inspiration.
I got myself a big glass of Ice Tea (OK ok it was coffee but it's in the right neighborhood) and sat down to watch. It was very quiet. I watched him create the beginning of a great sunset, and then I got up for . . something. I can't remember, but I found myself on FaceBook, telling people I was going to paint. That often helps me.
Half heartedly I went back to watch the end of the episode. I was bored (and tired) so I "fast forwarded" it by 1X and watched it develop. I didn't like the mountain he made (but that was his world, not mine ;) so I jumped to the next episode. Then the next. Bob Ross in Fast Forward is still pretty good, AND I don't get as tired watching. I mean really, tell me you don't just about fall asleep while he's painting.
After my mini marathon I decided I couldn't waste my effort thus far so I went to get the video camera. OH SO MUCH WORK, the tripod, a new tape, batteries . . . argh. So I went to check my FaceBook only to find that a few people are watching (or at least also on FaceBook being distracted from their days work) and as always people just being there motivated me to just DO IT (so who says it is wasting time?) and it helped! But I decided to go the easy route on the camera and just got out the FLIP camera. The record time is 1 HOUR. No problem that's normal Bob Ross time anyway, right?
SHARE THE JOY - Kay
