The beauty of Bob Ross was that he made you feel like you could paint….even if you had never touched a brush. His encouraging words have helped so many people over the years become painters…including me. At the exhibit in Purcellville at the Franklin Parks Art Center the paintings were displayed along with some of his sayings. Here are a few. Enjoy!

Today we wish Lincoln a Happy Adoption Day. He has brought lots of smiles and joy to us and those who have gotten to know him. And he has adapted to his new “work” at The Studio with enthusiasm. I recently saw what a friend wrote about his mixed breed dog and loved it….so from now on, because Lincoln is such a funny looking little mixed breed and I get asked a lot what is he mixed with…I will say “PERFECTION”!
