Bob Ross has received a tribute in the form of a video remix.The late Joy of Painting presenter has been auto-tuned and edited by Symphony of Science musician John D Boswell for PBS.
Several of his famous soothing catchphrases and pieces of advice are included in the clip, such as "happy little clouds" and "there are no mistakes, just happy accidents".
The clip follows Boswell's previous video for PBS which remixed Mister Rogers.
Bob Ross hosted The Joy of Painting for 31 seasons for PBS from 1983 to 1994.
He passed away in 1995 aged 52, but his particular painting technique and workshops continue to be hugely popular worldwide.
Very funny. There was a British guy called Alyn Crawshaw who ran a similar series - I would like to see him given the same treatment!

So I am not alone. I confess that my guilty pleasure was to have his show on and sit with my eyes closed listening to his voice as a form of meditation to relax when stressed. Can't say the video hits the spot but appreciate the thought.
