Almost all of Bob Ross’ paintings are locked away in his vault, but the one from his first episode of Joy of Painting is for sale. Modern Artifact in Minneapolis is selling that magnificent piece of art for just $9,850,000.00 that they just acquired.
They bought the painting from a woman who worked on the PBS show and bought it at an auction they had after the first season ended. She has held on to it for the last 40 years. But she finally decided to part ways with it.
So, does anyone have $10 million they can give me so I can be the new owner of A Walk in the Woods?
Although, Ryan Nelson, the owner of the art gallery, told KARE he might not sell it. He is thinking of touring with it so that everyone can experience a little of that Happy Hippy Painter in person.
I would stand there and look at it in awe until the museum kicked me out. And I don’t think I would be alone.
