Bob Ross and my petite Art Critic

Let's just blend this little rascal here, ha! Happy as we can be.
Bob Ross
My oldest son, 4.5 (the half is important!) Cole Sebastian is a chip off the old blocks!  His father is an artist like me and the apple didn't fall far from the tree!  He is constantly giving me feedback, keeping my eyes and heart open and unknowingly pushing me to do my best.  I once asked him if he liked a gray and dark blue painting I had just finished.... His response?
"Oh no mommy, oh no.  Don't use just gray again.  Don't never, ever, ever do that again!" --
and I haven't!  I appreciate the eyes of the innocent mini-artiste!
His latest obsession?  Bob Ross, the painter featured on PBS whose television series focused on simple color selections, and a short list of tools used within a framed time limit.   Bob Ross was also known for his spirited nature and use of expressions and "life-isms" while painting (see bobrossquotes.com).   

We visited the art supply store yesterday and passed an aisle with Bob Ross Paints.  Cole busts out "Todd Ross- he's the greatest painter ever!".  Taken aback and laughing on the inside at the sheer grandness and pure honesty of Cole's statement, I plainly said, "You mean Bob, honey?".  

Cole's response?.... " Yes, mommy, " pointing to the sign, "that man right there--the best painter in the world".  

Cole must watch this program at his father's and oddly enough, it is also one of my mother's favorite shows.  I may have a more subjective opinion toward him being the best painter in the world ever, but I have to say, I enjoy him too!

In tribute to my son and Mr. Bob Ross here is a short video of his work for your enjoyment and curiosity.  Kids are great!
